St Pauli take on the visitors Nurnberg in the round 1 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 16th at Millerntor-Stadion (Hamburg).
St. Pauli is known for its eccentric fans, not for success on the field. The Pirates of the League, after all, not so long ago were able to try their hand at the Bundesliga 1 level. They spent the 2010/2011 season in it to ingloriously fly out of the last, 18th place. In general, this club from Hamburg can rightfully be considered as the middle peasant of the 2nd German division in Germany. In general, against this background, last season was very promising, it turned out to be among the leaders. But a couple of misfires, and as a result, only 5th place, 3 points behind both Darmstadt and, which is a shame, neighbors Hamburg. Note that over the summer the team has changed, and hardly for the better: they released a dozen players. But the mentor, Timo Schulz, is in place, and they seem to believe that he will come up with something in this situation.

Nuremberg has improved in recent years. The "Clubbers" are considered the 1st of the most popular teams in the country. They have in their asset has 9 "silver salad bowls" (although the latter was won more than half a century ago) and 4 cups. Including in 2007. However, a year later the team moved to the 2nd division of the country, where, with a minimum exception, it has been for the last decade. And the fans are pleased that the final place is gradually getting higher: 16th in 2020, 11th in 2021 and, finally, 8th this spring. Among other things, this was influenced by the stability of the team: Robert Klaus has been the head coach for several years. There are a minimum of changes in the squad, although we'll see what Sadiq Fofana, on loan from Bayer, who is only 19 years old, will show.
Nuremberg last won a head-to-head in May 2016. After that, a dozen matches were already played, and St. Pauli won half of them. Another 5, including the 1-1 in April, were draws. Both clubs are good and will play for a win. We take the classic German football option with "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
