St. Pauli (home)
- St. Pauli are a possession-first, proactive team in the mould of Marcel Rapp's previous clubs.

- Their last 10 games in all competitions: 0 wins, 3 draws and 7 defeats.
- They are winless in 6 at home (2 draws, 4 defeats).
Greuther Furth (away)

- They have backed that up with back-to-back away wins over FC Zurich (3-2) and SC Freiburg (3-0).
- Furth operate as a compact 4-2-3-1 that presses hard and looks to find forwards or players in the half-spaces on the break.
