Team News

St. Pauli
FC Heidenheim
  • Simon Zoller is back in training after an injury, Sören Ahlers has a knee injury, while Philipp Treu has a calf issue.
  • Heidenheim will have to recover from their Europa Conference League outing on Thursday.
  • Marnon Busch has a knee problem, while Thomas Keller is on his way back from a long-standing ACL injury, as is Julian Niehues.

Prediction

  • Frank Schmidt's Heidenheim exceeded all expectations last season in their first ever Bundesliga campaign with a startling eighth placed finish, enough for a Europa Conference League play-off spot.
  • Bundesliga 2 champions St Pauli will be dreaming of a similar campaign, despite losing progressive head coach Fabian Hürzeler to Brighton.
  • Both sides will fancy their chances of an opening day boost, but new Pauli coach Alexander Blessin will be aware that their best chance of wins will be at the Millerntor, their home "fortress."
