FC St. Pauli before an exciting home game against Augsburg: A win is necessary!

On Sunday, September 14th, FC St. Pauli has an important home game scheduled. Head coach Alexander Blessin's team wants to consolidate its position in the Bundesliga against FC Augsburg. After a solid start to the season, which includes two games with a total of 4 points (3:3 against Borussia Dortmund and 2:0 against Hamburger SV), the mood in the neighborhood club is positive. Mathias Pereira Lage underlines this optimism and emphasizes the positive atmosphere in the team after the derby victory.

But the results from last year make the fans sit up and take notice. St. Pauli started the 2024/2025 season with two defeats against Heidenheim (0:2) and Union Berlin (0:1). Blessin is now demanding more intensity from his players in order to overcome the weaknesses from previous duels.

The strong opponent from Augsburg

The game against Augsburg won't be a walk in the park. FC Augsburg also put in a strong performance and can look back on a 3-1 win against Freiburg and a narrow 2-3 defeat against Bayern Munich. The new coach Sandro Wagner has noticeably increased his team's endurance, which is reflected in the average mileage of 121.62 km against Freiburg and 125.84 km against Bayern.

In addition, St. Pauli has to convince in direct duels and duels after losing 3-1 in the first leg last season. A strong performance is therefore urgently needed to put Schalke in their place on their home pitch.

Social responsibility and support

Before the game, FC St. Pauli will also live up to its social responsibility. Fans can conscientiously take part in campaigns to support homeless people. This includes clothing donations as well as the collection of food and hygiene products. In addition, Ultrà Sankt Pauli is collecting money for “GoBanyo”, a shower bus for the homeless. These actions show that the club is committed not only on the pitch but also outside the stadium.

In the larger context of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich has won the championship for the 2024/2025 season and is financially at the top of all German clubs. While FC St. Pauli secured relegation with fighting spirit, Holstein Kiel and VfL Bochum, who were promoted at the same time, had to stick their heads in the 2nd league.

The Bundesliga is not only an exciting league, but also a reflection of the social challenges in society. With the upcoming home game against Augsburg, St. Pauli has the opportunity to celebrate a victory on the pitch and beyond.
