7:58pm, 13 May 2025【Football】

At 23:30 on May 11, a striking showdown will be held in the 33rd round of the Bundesliga, with Frankfurt at home to face Saint-Paul. For Frankfurt, the importance of this game is self-evident. The following editor will analyze this game for you.

Let's first look at the current situation of the players of the two teams. Frankfurt currently ranks third in the Bundesliga, with 16 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses in the first 32 rounds, temporarily in the Champions League main area. However, they are also troubled by personnel. The main midfielder Mario Gotze was injured on April 18 and was expected to return to the team until June 18. His absence has a certain impact on the team's offensive creativity; goalkeeper Kaa's cruciate ligament was torn, and the specific return date is unknown. But the team has been in good shape recently. It drew 1-1 with Mainz in the last round, and remained unbeaten in four consecutive league rounds, winning 2 wins and 2 draws in 2 draws at home. It even won three consecutive victories at home and all of them were clean.

Sao Paulo is currently ranked 15th, with 8 wins, 7 draws and 17 losses in the first 32 rounds, only 2 points ahead of Heidenheim, and the pressure to relegate is not small. They have many personnel problems. Goalkeeper Nikola Vasily was suspended until May 12, forward Alias ​​Saad had muscle contusion, defender Carol Metz was injured, forward Simon Zoller had a calf injury, goalkeeper Sasha Burchet had a groin injury and Soren Ales had a sprained knee. It is expected that the injury will end on May 10, and midfielder Connor Metcalf was suspended until May 11. The team has been in a sluggish state recently. It lost to Stuttgart 0-1 at home in the last round. It has lost three consecutive rounds and its away performance is also unsatisfactory. It has only won 2 games in the past 10 away games.

The editor believes that Frankfurt has a clear advantage in terms of both its lineup strength and its recent state. In order to maintain their Champions League seat, they will definitely do their best at home. Although St. Pauli is under pressure to relegate, it is not in a good position and is in poor condition, making it difficult to cause too much trouble for Frankfurt. In terms of predicting the score, 3-0 is very likely. Frankfurt has fully suppressed St. Pauli with his home momentum and offensive firepower; the score of 2-1 is also reasonable. St. Pauli may explode in desperate situation and seize Frankfurt's mistake and score a goal; it may also be 2-0. Frankfurt plays steadily, relying on solid defense and efficient offense to seal St. Pauli.
