The Bundesliga season is heating up, and for FC St. Pauli, the pressure is mounting. After a tough stretch of six consecutive losses, the club is heading to Freiburg this Sunday with a singular goal: to snatch at least a point and halt their slide. This crucial away fixture kicks off in just under an hour, and the starting lineup announced by Coach Alexander Blessin signals a steadfast effort to shake things up.

Blessin has opted for a revised starting eleven, making three changes from the squad that faced a 0-4 defeat against Mönchengladbach in their last league outing. In defense, the familiar backline will feature Vasilj in goal, supported by Wahl, Smith, and mets. The midfield sees a shuffle, with Pyrka entering the fray for Saliakas, and Metcalfe replacing Sinani. The attacking front will be bolstered by Kaars, who steps in for Afolayan, aiming to provide the much-needed spark alongside Pereira lage.

The lineup for the away game in Breisgau is:

Vasilj – Wahl, Smith, Mets – Pyrka,
