The match between FC St. Pauli and VfB Stuttgart promises to be an intriguing encounter in the Bundesliga, as both teams vie for crucial points in their respective campaigns. St. Pauli currently sits at 14th place with 31 points, while Stuttgart is positioned 11th with 41 points . St. Pauli’s recent form includes a goalless draw against Werder Bremen, whereas Stuttgart suffered a narrow defeat to 1. FC Heidenheim . The historical context favors St. Pauli, who previously managed to secure a victory against Stuttgart with a score of 1-0.
With three games remaining, the 14th-placed hosts sit six points above the relegation playoff spot. They recently held in-form Werder Bremen to a 0-0 draw, restricting them to one clear chance. This clean sheet, their first in five matches, underscores their strong defense, the Bundesliga's third-best with only 36 goals conceded. Alexander Blessin’s side will secure survival with a win, provided 16th-placed Heidenheim don't beat bottom-of-the-table VfL Bochum on Friday.
A draw also guarantees safety if Heidenheim loses. St Pauli are unbeaten in four, drawing three and winning one, with their only loss in the last seven a narrow 3-2 defeat to Bayern Munich on March 29th.
St Pauli possible starting lineup: Vasilj; Nemeth, Wahl, Van der Heyden; Saliakas, Boukhalfa, Smith, Treu; Weisshaupt, Guilavogui; Sinani
Stuttgart possible starting lineup: Nubel; Stergiou, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstadt; Leweling, Karazor, Stiller, Fuhrich; Woltemade, Demirovic
