St Pauli face a daunting challenge as they host Bayern Munich, whose relentless push toward a 35th Bundesliga title shows no signs of slowing, even with a demanding European schedule.
St Pauli head into the final six matches of the season sitting in the relegation play-off spot after a four-game winless run.
Bayern Munich have scored in every game against bottom-six sides this season.
However, their home form offers some encouragement, with just one defeat in their last seven league matches at the Millerntor-Stadion.
Interestingly, they have performed well against elite opposition on their own turf, remaining unbeaten at home against teams that started the round in the top four. That resilience will be put to the ultimate test against Bayern.
The visitors arrive in dominant form, unbeaten away from home in all competitions since November and fresh from an impressive 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final.
Harry Kane has scored seven goals in his last five league games for Bayern Munich.
Domestically, Bayern showed their championship pedigree once again by overturning a 2-0 deficit to beat Freiburg 3-2, maintaining a nine-point lead at the top.
With over 100 league goals already this season, Bayern are closing in on their own historic record of 101 goals set in 1971/72.

Whispers predicts: St Pauli 0-3 Bayern Munich
The visitors' overwhelming form will see them secure a comfortable win over the host in this tie. Bayern Munich have won five straight league meetings against St Pauli.
However, St Pauli will fancy their chance in this clash, having lost only once at home in their last seven games in the Bundesliga.
The bookmakers have priced the home side as massive underdogs at 8.00, reflecting their lowly position and the strength of the opposition.
A draw is currently valued at 5.00, while an away victory for Vincent Kompany's team is the heavy favourite at 1.36 odds.
The market for the home team to score over 1.5 goals is set at 1.36, which is likely given the visitors' scoring record, and over 2.5 goals is at 1.53.
Also, Harry Kane, who has been in scoring form this season, is likely to score in the game, and he has been given 1.72 odds to hit the back of the net anytime in the game.
> Away to win at 1.36 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 2.5 goals at 1.53 | Likelihood: Probable
> Home team total goals (over 1.5) at 1.36 | Likelihood: Possible
