2. Bundesliga preview: FC St. Pauli vs. 1. FC Nürnberg

FC St. Pauli host promotion contenders 1. FC Nürnberg in a crucial 2. Bundesliga fixture at the Millerntor-Stadion on Sunday afternoon. Marcel Rapp's seventh-place St. Pauli side enter the match unbeaten in six league games, looking to convert recent draws into victories. Meanwhile, Miroslav Klose's second-placed Nürnberg seek to end a three-match winless league run and maintain their promotion push.

St. Pauli hold a strong historical edge, boasting a 14-match unbeaten streak against Nürnberg, including four consecutive victories. However, both managers face injury absences; St. Pauli remain without Gisli Thordarson and Mathias Pereira Lage, while Nürnberg are missing Mohamed Ali Zoma, Kristian Mandic, and Finn Becker following their midweek DFB-Pokal loss to Bayer Leverkusen.
