St. Pauli turned in a resilient display last Friday, when they fought back from behind to claim a 3-2 extra-time victory over Hallescher FC in the DFB-Pokal first round.

That was in keeping with their impressive run of results in pre-season, where Alexander Blessin's men won four of their five friendlies, scoring 11 goals and keeping two clean sheets.

St. Pauli head into the new season off a remarkable 2023-24 campaign, clinching the 2. Bundesliga title to secure promotion and end their 14-year absence from the top flight.

Heidenheim, meanwhile, moved within touching distance of a place in the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage, as they picked up a 2-1 win over Hacken in the first leg of their play-off clash in midweek.

Before that, Schmidt’s men stormed to a resounding 4-1 victory over amateur side Villingen in the opening round of the DFB-Pokal on August 17.

Heidenheim, who finished eighth in the Bundesliga last term, head into the weekend on a run of 10 back-to-back wins across competitions, including seven last season.
