Match News and Current Form
St. Pauli – Relegation Alarm Bells
St. Pauli’s fighting spirit was evident in their 0-0 Hamburg derby draw, but their problems remain unresolved. They are now four games without a win (D2, L2) and sit just above the bottom side, Heidenheim, on goal difference.

- Home record: W2, D2, L4
- Only one home goal in their last five matches
- Winless against top-half teams (D1, L8)
Their inability to start matches strongly has hurt them all season.
RB Leipzig – Back on Track
Leipzig responded in style after a poor run by crushing Heidenheim 3-0 in their last match. That win pushed them back into the top four and ended a three-game winless away streak.
