Head-to-head statistics Holstein Kiel - St Pauli

Holstein Kiel Team Overview
🔵 Holstein Kiel are the club with the lowest overall transfer value in the Bundesliga. It seems fitting that they find themselves near the bottom of the table, just four points clear of the relegation playoff zone. However, Marcel Rapp's side occasionally bites back against top-tier opponents. They held Bayer Leverkusen to a 2-2 draw away, matched Stuttgart with the same scoreline at home, defeated Dortmund 4-2, scored three goals against Bayern Munich in a narrow 4-3 loss, and in their latest outing, put up a fight against a solid Mainz side, drawing 1-1. This is a team with character.
📉 Holstein Kiel have not won at home since January 14, when they convincingly defeated Borussia Dortmund 4-2.
❌ David Zez is suspended for the upcoming match. Striker Andu Kelati has been sidelined with a long-term injury. Central defender Ivan Nekic, defensive midfielder Patrick Erras, and center-back Kleine-Bekel might recover in time for the game.

St. Pauli Team Overview
🟤 St. Pauli are feeling more comfortable than the three teams below them in the standings. However, it's too early to relax. The team's mindset is spot on. Their recent match against Gladbach turned into a one-sided affair, with Borussia being on the receiving end. The stats tell the story: 26 shots to 5, 11 corners to 2 - all in favor of St. Pauli. The Bundesliga's sixth-placed team barely escaped with a draw (1-1).
🔗 In the last four matches, St. Pauli forward Johannes Eggestein hasn't been favored by the coach, seeing very limited playing time. Yet he was the standout player in the first-round match against Kiel, scoring a goal and providing two assists.
❌ James Sands (defensive midfielder) and Karol Mets (center-back) have been sidelined with long-term injuries. Additionally, center-back Siebe Van der Heyden will miss the game due to injury. On a positive note, right winger Morgan Guilavogui, the team's attacking leader, returned to the field last match.
