Augsburg are set to host St Pauli at WWK Arena on Sunday in each side's third game of the 2024-25 Bundesliga season.
Augsburg:
Currently 15th in the table with just one point, Augsburg has struggled in their opening matches, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to FC Heidenheim despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances. Manager Jess Thorup, in his first season at the club, will be concerned by his team’s low shot accuracy and poor chance conversion. Augsburg’s recent record is also troubling, with seven winless Bundesliga games (six losses and one draw), conceding 20 goals in that span. However, they have shown some resilience at home, winning three of their last four league games at WWK Arena before their recent struggles.
St. Pauli:
St. Pauli, rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga table with no points from their first two games, will look to turn their fortunes around against Augsburg. Their campaign started with a 2-0 loss to FC Heidenheim, followed by a narrow 1-0 defeat to Union Berlin, where they had 60% possession but only managed one shot on target. Promoted from the 2. Bundesliga after winning the title last season, St. Pauli has struggled in the top flight, extending their poor run from their previous Bundesliga stint, where they lost 13 of their last 14 top-flight matches. Under new manager Alexander Blessin, who took charge in July, St. Pauli has a mixed record on the road with five wins and five losses in their last 10 competitive away games. The team will be eager to address their defensive frailties and improve their attacking output to avoid another defeat.
Prediction: 1-1
