FC St. Pauli will welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to Millerntor-Stadion in the Bundesliga on Saturday. The hosts have four wins to their name and are in 14th place in the league table. Frankfurt, meanwhile, have won eight out of 15 games and are in third place in the standings with 27 points.
Kiezkicker concluded 2024 on a winning note, as they secured a 1-0 away win over Stuttgart. Johannes Eggestein's 21st-minute goal helped them return to winning ways after two consecutive defeats.
The visitors have endured a poor run of recent form, suffering three consecutive defeats across all competitions. They hosted Mainz in their previous league outing and suffered a 3-1 loss. They conceded thrice by the 58th minute and Rasmus Kristensen scored a consolation goal in the 75th minute.
Kiezkicker concluded 2024 with a win and a clean sheet and will look to build on that form. Interestingly, three of their four wins in the Bundesliga have been recorded in away games. They have recorded one win in their last seven games in this fixture while suffering four losses.
Alexander Blessin has a lengthy absentee list for this match as Connor Metcalfe, Elias Saad, Karol Mets, Robert Wagner, and Simon Zoller are sidelined with injuries.
Die Adler are winless in their last five games, suffering four losses. They have conceded 13 goals in these games while scoring six times and will look to improve upon that record. They have won four of their last seven away league games, though three of their four losses have been registered in their travels.
Tuta is back in training but his involvement remains doubtful. Jean-Mattéo Bahoya is nursing a broken nose while Aurèle Florian Amenda will sit this one out with an ankle injury.
Both teams have been in poor touch recently and are likely to resume their league campaign after the winter break with a draw.
