St. Pauli vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction 08.03.2026 | Bundesliga

Last season, St. Pauli feared for the possible relegation until the last round. The situation is not much different this season, as they are currently with only one point more than the drop zone. Every point can be vital, and luckily for St. Pauli, they are in very good form lately. Alexander Blessin's team won three of the last four matches. In the most recent outing, St. Pauli won 1-0 on the road against Hoffenheim. The hosts had significantly better goal-scoring chances, but the visitors' much better efficiency was enough for all three points.

After a big victory in the previous Bundesliga round, St. Pauli's head coach, Alexander Blessin, was very satisfied. He said, "I'm incredibly happy – not just with the three points, but also with the performance. We knew we'd have to go to the limit today, and we did that in the first half. It was a mix of passion and skilful play."

St. Pauli will be without David Nemeth, Karol Mets, Ricky-Jade Jones, and Andreas Hountondji on Sunday afternoon. Also, Tomoya Ando and Mathias Rasmussen are questionable, and their statuses will be clearer closer to the kickoff.

Eintracht Frankfurt are nowhere near their position from the last season, when they finished third. In the current campaign, they can hardly hope for a place in the Conference League. After a terrible January, Eintracht Frankfurt improved with the appointment of head coach Albert Riera. Since he came, Die Adler have lost only one of the last four matches. In the previous game, Eintracht won 2-0 at home against Freiburg. The hosts were significantly the better side, so anything other than their victory would be undeserved.

Eintracht Frankfurt beat Freiburg, but the head coach, Albert Riera, wasn't fully satisfied. He said, "We won, but it wasn't all perfect. We can still improve. I'll discuss the points I mean with the players behind closed doors. I want to make the players better. They should enjoy the game and feel comfortable with the ideas we give them."

Eintracht Frankfurt have big problems with missing players. Michy Batshuayi, Younes Ebnoutalib, Kaua Santos, Ansgar Knauff, Rasmus Kristensen, Arthur Theate, and Can Yilmaz Uzun are unavailable for Sunday afternoon.
