Mission Promotion !!! This will get started from VfB Stuttgart today but it would be not as easy as they expect, of course. The league is very hard and close and they are the team against all opponents maybe have a lot more motivation. Therefore they must bring all their power on the pitch from beginning on and should not underestimate the opponents. Also they are without a few starters today what makes it more difficult additionally.
Despite the lose of some top players like Harnik, Kostic and Werner VfB Stuttgart is the top favorite for promotion of all experts. But not only the experts see the club in a good position, all Coaches and supporters as well. With Luhukay they won an excellent Coach who has a lot of experience and know how to get promoted. The squad look good so far but Manager Schindelsmeiser said in an interview that they want more deepness and therefore one or two players more to sign in offense. Until end of August they have to chance to get the job done.
The starting lineup and be a big puzzle for Luhukay today. With new signed Werner they miss one of the offensive wing due to private reasons while Grgic has not the form and need still some time. Also back wing Großkreutz is not ready and should be replaced from Zimmer who came from 1.FC Kaiserslautern in summer break. The offensive left wing can take youngster Heise but this is not his normal position anyway. Moreover the starters in central back are a big question right now.
Timo Baumgartl is not ready due to injury, youngster Sama made a good preparation and can maybe start beside Sunjiic although this is not the optimal duo. With Kaminski has Coach Luhukay one in back but he has some lag.
It was seldom that St. Pauli could be successful in Stuttgart because from the last 9 matches they were unbeaten one time only. But this is not what the players interest right now. They want to be as focused and also with some self confidence as in the last friendly against Sevilla 1-2 they want to be as hard as they can for VfB. Additional this can be their chance because Stuttgart is not well rehearsed to begin what midfield player Buchtmann mentioned. This is what give them a lot of motivation and good mood before the game.
Compared to Stuttgart can St. Pauli count on the same starting lineup as in the last game against Kaiserslautern 5-2, only Maier and Thy are not available because they left the club already. Also the system can be changed from Coach Lienen to a more offense 4-4-2 with two strikers. Because with Bouhaddouz and Picault they have two very quick and agile guys up front who can make some trouble anyway. Supported can be both from Kalla and Sobota on the wings.
