Fresh from beating Nice 3-1 away from home in the Europa League, Freiburg will look to pick up another win in the Bundesliga when they face St Pauli on Sunday at the Europa-Park Stadium.
St Pauli have not won a game since beating Augsburg 2-1 in mid-September, and are going through a wretched run of form.

Correct score prediction: Freiburg 2-0 St Pauli
Julian Schuster needs to find a way to pick up wins in the Bundesliga, as they have been drawing too many games at the moment.
Since beating Werder Bremen 3-0 back in September, they have drawn five out of their next six games, losing the other one.
St Pauli are 15th in the Bundesliga table, and have lost their last six league games, which is why we back the home team to pick up all three points on Sunday.

- Draw: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%

Freiburg preview: Can they avoid another draw?
In their previous Bundesliga game, Freiburg failed to penetrate a resolute Union Berlin defence as they were held to a 0-0 draw. Before that, they lost 2-0 against Bayer Leverkusen.
The game on Sunday provided a perfect opportunity for them to produce a strong result and head into the international break with loads of confidence.

St Pauli preview: Badly need wins
With six defeats in a row in the Bundesliga and finding it difficult to score at the moment, things are not looking pretty for St Pauli.
Defensive duo David Nemeth and Arkadiusz Pyrka are both set to miss Sunday's clash, but Martijn Kaars could return to the side.

Player to watch: Vincenzo Grifo
The 32-year-old Italian attacking midfielder has been in good form for Freiburg this season and has scored four goals in his last six games.
Grifo has scored six goals and provided two assists in all competitions so far, and he will look to improve his goal tally on Sunday.
