A victory on foreign soil propels Norderstedt forward, setting high expectations for the St. Pauli match.
Eintracht Norderstedt is gearing up for the DFB-Pokal first-round match against FC St. Pauli on August 16, 2025. The team, under the guidance of coach Elard Ostermann, has had a mixed run in their recent games, managing to secure only one win in their last five matches. However, they recently claimed a confident 2:0 victory over 1. FC Phönix Lübeck, the table leaders[1].
The upcoming match, to be played at the Millerntor-Stadion, promises to be a challenging encounter for Eintracht Norderstedt. FC St. Pauli is in good form, having won four out of their last five games, including a narrow victory over Hellas Verona[1][2]. Despite the gap in league tiers and recent performance, Eintracht Norderstedt is determined to make the most of their home advantage and cause an upset[1].
The team's preparation for the prestigious tournament is focused on boosting team confidence, addressing inconsistencies in performance, and adopting a tactical approach to compete with higher-tier opposition. Coach Ostermann is emphasising a strong defensive organisation to counter FC St. Pauli’s attacking strength[1].
The victory over 1. FC Phönix Lübeck was a significant boost for Eintracht Norderstedt. The first goal was scored just before half-time by new signing Felix Drinkuth, assisted by Leo Bera. The second goal came in the 89th minute, courtesy of Ezra Ampofo[1].
Meanwhile, fan frustration persists due to a long-standing maintenance backlog of 2263 standing places in Norderstedt's stadium. However, this issue does not seem to deter the fans' enthusiasm for the upcoming match[3].
The DFB-Pokal match against FC St. Pauli is scheduled for Saturday, August 16, at 15.30 Uhr, at the Millerntor. The pressure is on Eintracht Norderstedt to make a statement in this prestigious tournament and advance in the DFB-Pokal[1][2].
