Stuttgart welcome St. Pauli to the MHP Arena in round 15 of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Sebastian HoeneB’s men head into the weekend unbeaten in their previous nine games against the visitors since October 2001 and will be looking to extend this dominant run.
Stuttgart turned in another solid team display last Sunday when they picked up a 3-1 victory over Heidenheim at the Voith-Arena in their Bundesliga clash. HoeneB’s men have now picked up four wins on the trot, including a 5-1 victory over Young Boys in the Champions League, where they are currently 26th in the table.
Stuttgart have picked up six wins from their 14 Bundesliga games so far while losing three and claiming five draws to collect 23 points and occupy sixth place in the league standings.
St. Pauli, on the other hand, continued to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table as they fell to a 2-0 home defeat at the hands of Werder Bremen last time out.
Alexander Blessin’s men have now failed to win five of their last six games across all competitions, losing four and claiming one draw since November 9. With just 11 points from their 14 Bundesliga matches, St. Pauli are currently 15th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone.
