Preparing for another clash against FC St. Pauli!
Eintracht Norderstedt and FC St. Pauli II are gearing up for a crucial relegation battle in the Regionalliga Nord, with the match scheduled for next Sunday at 2 pm.
The venue for this highly anticipated clash will be the Edmund-Plambeck-Stadion, where Eintracht Norderstedt will be playing as the away team against their stadium tenants, FC St. Pauli II.
Currently, Eintracht Norderstedt finds itself in the fifteenth position in the Regionalliga Nord, having accumulated six points from six games. On the other hand, FC St. Pauli II is at the bottom of the table, managing only one point from their first six matches.
Coach Elard Ostermann of Eintracht Norderstedt believes that a repeat of their performance from the Drochtersen game is necessary to secure points against their rivals. However, he considers St. Pauli II as the favourites in this upcoming match.
The last encounter between the two teams is not well-documented, with no specific details about the outcome available. Nevertheless, the memory of their previous DFB-Pokal match still lingers, as Eintracht Norderstedt lost to FC St. Pauli in a penalty shootout three weeks ago.
Captain Moritz Frahm returns to the team after recovering from a thigh injury, which should boost Eintracht Norderstedt's morale. However, they will be missing eight injured players, which could potentially weaken their squad.
FC St. Pauli II's young players have been adapting well to the Regionalliga Nord, showcasing good performances in recent matches. They managed a 1:1 draw against Phoenix Lübeck and a 0:1 defeat against Blau-Weiss Lohne.
Coach Ostermann does not regard Eintracht Norderstedt as the favourites in the relegation battle. Nevertheless, he hopes for a lively atmosphere with fans from both teams present, contributing to an exciting match.
With many FC St. Pauli fans likely to attend the match due to their team having a free weekend, a large crowd, common in the Regionalliga, is possible for this relegation match. Eintracht Norderstedt, however, hopes for the support of their own fans to help them secure a much-needed victory.
