Pure excitement: VfB Lübeck challenges FC St. Pauli II to a duel!
VfB Lübeck faces an important away game against FC St. Pauli II next Saturday, November 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Coach Karsten Neitzel's team will try to secure the urgently needed points in the relegation battle. The last few weeks have been anything but pleasant for Lübeck: On November 15th there was a heavy 1:5 defeat against SV Meppen, and last weekend was also unfortunate as the game against VfB Oldenburg had to be canceled due to frozen grass, as VfB Lübeck reports.
The situation in the table is tense. VfB Lübeck is currently in 11th place with 23 points after 19 games, while St. Pauli II remains in 18th place with just 11 points. These standings reflect the modest performance of both teams in recent weeks. St. Pauli II has only managed one win from their last ten games and suffered many close defeats during this period. Particularly noteworthy: The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw on October 28, 2025 in front of 2,387 spectators.
The current form of both teams
VfB Lübeck have not been able to convince in the last ten games, but they are in a position to improve after the defeat against Meppen. Their most recent results show a mixed picture: once there was a narrow win (3-2 against Bremer SV on November 9th), but also two draws and a list of defeats. As the direct competitors in the table, the game against St. Pauli II is crucial. Unfortunately, head coach Benny Hoose will be missing due to health problems, so Karsten Neitzel, who has been in office since September 15, 2025, will act as interim coach. Under his leadership, the team only collected 2 wins in 9 games.
Neitzel's team has a goal difference of 30:43 so far this season and will do everything in its power to improve this record. A good hand in choosing the line-up could make the difference in gaining points against the St. Paulians, who are also struggling after their last results.
Look at the history
Historically, Lübeck has the upper hand in direct duels. In 29 competitive games against FC St. Pauli II, 17 wins, 8 draws and 4 defeats were recorded, with a goal difference of 59:27. The last meeting between the two teams this season ended in a draw, which shows how evenly matched the games often are.
Saturday's encounter will be a game-changer for both teams to escape from the bottom of the table. With the right decisions on the pitch and a positive attitude, Lübeck could take an important step in the right direction. So let’s look forward to the upcoming encounter!
