Head-to-head statistics Bournemouth - St Pauli
Bournemouth Team Overview
The English club is just beginning its pre-season preparations - and for the first time since 2022, doing so without Andoni Iraola. Marco Rose takes charge now, a manager who has worked exclusively with Austrian and German clubs up to this point. Given that, the training camp location and the choice of first opponent make sense. The question is whether Bournemouth can stretch their unbeaten run to ten friendlies.
The club hasn't been particularly active in the transfer market, although strengthening would be useful as they'll be competing in the Europa League group stage. Beyond Alex Jimenez, bought outright from Milan, the only notable addition is 22-year-old forward Alvaro Rodriguez. The Uruguayan put up 12 goal contributions in 36 matches for Elche last season - the best in the club - and that cost the Cherries €25 million.
Match Results: Bournemouth
St. Pauli Team Overview
The German side come into this match in better shape physically - they've already played several preseason friendlies. St. Pauli tend to be attack-minded in preseason, scoring in 10 of their last 11 friendly matches. This summer the pirates won all four of their games, though most of the opposition came from the lower tiers of German football. The one exception was Gorica (2-1) from the Croatian Premier League.
That game came at a cost - striker Abdoulie Ceesay picked up an injury, the same player who had scored a hat-trick against Babelsberg (4-1) earlier in preseason. As a reminder, St. Pauli were relegated to the 2. Bundesliga last season, with Marcel Rapp replacing Alexander Blessin. Dropping down a division, the club isn't rushing to spend big - so far their only additions have been free agents.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
It's Bournemouth's first preseason match under a new manager - chasing a result won't be the priority. Marco Rose will be checking fitness levels and giving the younger players some minutes. St. Pauli are in better shape and rarely lose by more than a goal in preseason. A win for the visitors wouldn't be a surprise here - they're clearly ahead physically. The pick is St. Pauli to win with +1.5 handicap. Predicted score: 1:2.
