Bundesliga 2025-2026: St.Pauli-Augsburg, the likely lineups

At 3:30 p.m., St.Pauli hosts Augsburg for the third day of the Bundesliga. St.Pauli comes to this challenge in high spirits, buoyed by their 0-2 success in the heartfelt derby against Hamburg. In contrast, Augsburg needs to pick itself up after the still unsurprising 2-3 home defeat suffered by Bayern Munich.

The team coached by former Genoa coach Blessin started the championship with a pyrotechnic 3-3 draw against Borussia Dortmund, followed by the great performance in the derby. The protagonist of this start is undoubtedly Andreas Hountondji: the young forward born in 2002 has already stamped his card twice, showing great coolness under goal.

Augsburg’s start to the season has been encouraging: first a fine 1-3 away win against Freiburg, then a nonetheless combative test against Bayern, albeit one that ended in defeat. Wagner’s team showed a good attitude and will now look to get back to scoring points.

Probable lineups

St. Pauli (3-4-3): Vaslj; Wahl, Smith, Dzwigala; Pyrka, Sands, Fujita, Oppie; Sinani, Hountondji, Pereira Lage

Augsburg (3-5-2); Dahmen; Matsima, Gouweleeuw, Zesiger; Wolf, Massengo, Jakić, Rieder, Pedersen; Tietz, Saad
