St Paulivs.Holstein Kiel

Match preview

St Pauli were completely outplayed in the first half by Borussia Mönchengladbach. Die Fohlen had seven shots on target, scored twice and created three big chances, but they'll feel their positive second-half display deserved at least one goal.

Boss Alexander Blessin wasn't happy with how his players started the match, saying: "We weren't fully focused when they scored from the corner." After that, we gave Gladbach a lot of space and opportunities. By the end of the match, we had three or four chances, and it's possible that one of them might have led to a different outcome.

Blessin's side are just two points from 15th-placed Heidenheim, and they've conceded 14 goals, which is better than 13 of the other 17 clubs in the top flight, including the rest of the bottom eight.

St Pauli are having a rough time, to say the least. They've lost four, drawn one and only won one of their last six league games. And they've failed to score four times in that period.

The hosts have also had a tough time at home this season. The club hasn't managed to win or score in any of their five games at Millerntor-Stadion, losing three times.
