At the Wesserstadion last week, FC Koln took a point from the tie against Werder Bremen in a 1-1 stalemate game that stretched the limits of the hosting opposition, who capitalized on home advantage to obtain parity.

St Pauli fell to a 3-1 defeat against the table leaders Bayern Munich last week, after falsely gaining a sixth-minute opening lead (courtesy of Andreas Houndtoundji), which vanished in the early seconds of the forty-fourth minute. The last six minutes of additional time were a horror show for the Neighborhood kickers, who did little to prevent two consecutive goals from the opponents, ending the affair with a 3-1 score, and marking another defeat.
When it rains, it pours; that has been St.Pauli’s fate since the beginning of the season, with the team accruing two wins, one stalemate, and nine losses in the last twelve matches _ the previous five games for the Neighborhood Kickers, who have been kicked around the neighborhood, have all yielded losses, making it eight defeats in a row. St Pauli’s Kickers have had six games on the road, and lost five while winning one.
St. Pauli are the poorest team offensively, with ten goals scored after thirteen rounds. Defensively, it looks awful for the team, with the second-rate concession rate (24) after Augsburg and Heidenheim (27 each).
FC St. Pauli: Lineup
Alexander Blessin will have to play this match without Houtoundji, who picked up a muscle injury in the game against Bayern Munich. He will also have to do without David Nemeth (muscle injury) and Schmitz (ankle injury). It is rumoured that Larz Ritzka and Mathias Peirera Lage could feature after recent injury concerns.
🔖 Predicted Lineup (5-4-1): Vasilj, Oppie-Smith-Metz-Wahl-Pyrka, Lage-Irvine-Sands-Fujita, Kaars
👤 Head Coach: Alexander Blessin
⛔ Out: Injured- Hountoundji, Nemeth, Schmitz

🎯 FC Köln vs FC St. Pauli Match Prediction 06 December 2025
In this game, a lot is to be expected. Firstly, St Pauli’s defense is poorly coordinated, indicating the likelihood of numerous defensive spillages and pass interceptions. Secondly, A lot of attention is on Said El Mala, the youngster who has been linked to European names. He will be seeking to impress today, as he usually does. The hosting outfit is hungrier than ever and will seek victory today - albeit at the cost of concession. I expect a lot of goals, with both sides making goal contributions, but an eventual win for Koln.
