Confirmed lineups: VfB Stuttgart vs. St. Pauli

Tonight’s hosts aim to respond to last weekend’s late collapse against Freiburg, having conceded three goals across the final ten minutes and added time.

It has been a far from ideal start to the campaign for Die Schwaben, who have picked up just three points across their opening three matches – thanks to a 1-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Visitors St. Pauli have started the season sensationally, and have begun to add goals to what was a fantastic defensive unit last term. 

After picking up a point against Borussia Dortmund on opening weekend, Pauli have picked up a further six points thanks to a derby win against Hamburg, and a 2-1 victory against Augsburg at the Millerntor.

With both sides carrying contrasting records into tonight’s clash, the lineups are as follows:

Stuttgart – 4-2-3-1: Nübel – Assignon, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstädt – Chema Andres, Stiller – Leweling, El Khannouss, Tomas – Demirovic

St. Pauli – 3-4-1-2: Vasilj – Wahl, Smith, Dzwigala – Saliakas, Sands, Fujita, Oppie – Sinani – Hountondji, Pereira Lage
