Fight to stay in the Bundesliga: St. Pauli loses again in Freiburg!

FC St. Pauli is currently struggling with difficult times in the Bundesliga. After a promising start to the season, the Kiezkickers have fallen into a worrying negative series: six defeats in a row. This is fueling concerns among fans that the club could soon slip into the relegation zone. Today FC St. Pauli plays against SC Freiburg at 3:30 p.m., which is an opportunity for the team to break out of its current misery. Loud NDR Defender Hauke ​​Wahl made it clear that the team recognized the seriousness of the situation and had a conversation without a coach after the clear 4-0 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

“We are challenged to bring the right mentality to the pitch,” said Wahl. Coach Alexander Blessin is also relying on increased defensive stability after the defense has already conceded 18 goals this season. St. Pauli actually wanted to go into this game on a high note, but the last results have put them off. The team has not scored its own goal in four matchdays, which is also alarming for the coach and players.

Before the duel with Freiburg

Hauke ​​Wahl, member of the team council, denies any rumors about internal tensions in the team and describes the collaboration as harmonious. The Kiezkickers want to take this good feeling with them into the game against SC Freiburg. The memory of the last meeting between the two teams resonates positively, as St. Pauli won 3-0 in Freiburg last season.

The lineups of both teams have been determined. Freiburg relies on experienced players like Atubolu and Ginter. St. Pauli, on the other hand, relies on a youthful lineup with players like Vasilj and Pereira Lage. The spectators can look forward to an exciting exchange of blows.

The course of the game

The game at the Europa Park Stadium did not start as desired for Hamburg. In the eighth minute, Maximilian Eggestein made it 1-0 for Freiburg. After an exciting first half, in which St. Pauli attracted attention with yellow cards for Sinani and Fujita, the team had to put up with the next goal in the course of the second half: Again it was Eggestein who was able to increase the score to 2-0 in the 47th minute. Yahoo Sports reported a late bright spot for St. Pauli: In the 89th minute, Louis Oppie made it 2-1, but that didn't change the final result of the defeat.

The fans are now wondering what happens next. A look at the upcoming games shows that the derby against HSV on December 7th will be a hotly contested duel. By winning this prestigious duel, St. Pauli could secure the points they need to put their current worries behind them. This year the club is also celebrating the founding of a cooperative that will own the arena, which is a breath of fresh air.
