St Pauli tried to forget the nightmare last weekend to face the Erzgebirge Aue challenge this weekend. They met at Millerntor Stadium in the continued Bundesliga 2 competition which aired Saturday (16/2) night.
The host group arrived at FC Koln headquarters to appear on match day 21, but did not expect to be crushed 4-1 by Jhon Cordoba’s hat trick and a donation by Simon Terodde. Despite the surprise, it is undeniable that they did lag behind statistically with 12 trials on goal versus 3.
Pauli tried to take lessons from the defeat, after all they managed to win the last 3 games as hosts with a 9-3 aggregate against Greuther Fuerth, Magdeburg and Union Berlin. So, they still have strong capital.
It’s different again with Erzgebirge who hasn’t reaped any numbers at all this month after losing in a row from Magdeburg and Ingolstadt. In fact, they have not been able to make a goal, even though they have conceded 4 times. At this time they began to fall slowly to number 13 with a collection of 22 points from 20 matches.
This is an opportunity for Pauli to rise at once break through to the top 3 with only goal difference at this time. They also held grudges after being held to a 1-1 draw by Erzgebirge last time playing at Millerntor, then losing 2-1 and 3-1 as the visitors.
