Augsburg will look to turn their fortunes around when they host St Pauli at WWK Arena on Sunday. Both sides have struggled early in the Bundesliga season, with Augsburg sitting in 15th place and St Pauli rooted to the bottom of the table.

Augsburg’s season has started poorly, with only one point from their first two games. Their most recent match saw them suffer a heavy 4-0 defeat against FC Heidenheim despite dominating possession and creating numerous chances. Jess Thorup’s side has struggled to find the net and has failed to win their last seven Bundesliga matches, conceding 20 goals during this run. At home, Augsburg has been inconsistent, but they have managed to secure some victories in recent times.

St Pauli, back in the Bundesliga after a long absence, has had an equally difficult start to the season, failing to earn a single point so far. Their latest match ended in a narrow 1-0 loss to Union Berlin, and their defense has been a major concern. The newly promoted side won the 2. Bundesliga last season but has struggled to adjust to top-flight football. Alexander Blessin’s team will be keen to improve their dismal away record and find their first points of the season.

  Key Players 

Augsburg  

- Samuel Essende: The versatile forward has been a bright spot for Augsburg, showcasing his ability to both create and finish chances. His dynamic runs and technical skills make him a constant threat in the final third, and he’ll be pivotal in breaking down St Pauli’s defense.

 - Phillip Tietz: Known for his physical presence and aerial prowess, Tietz is a key target man for Augsburg. His ability to hold up play and win headers in the box will be crucial for Augsburg to convert their attacking opportunities into goals.

 St Pauli  

- Johannes Eggestein: The forward has been St Pauli's primary attacking outlet, capable of making incisive runs and linking up play. His sharp movement and finishing skills will be essential for St Pauli to capitalize on their chances and break their scoring drought.

 - Morgan Guilavogui: Playing a crucial role in midfield, Guilavogui’s ability to break up opposition attacks and distribute the ball effectively is vital for St Pauli. His defensive tenacity and vision can help control the tempo of the game and support both the defensive and offensive phases.
