Confirmed lineups: VfB Stuttgart vs. St. Pauli | OneFootball

Tonight's hosts aim to respond to last weekend's late collapse against Freiburg, having conceded three goals across the final ten minutes and added time.

It has been a far from ideal start to the campaign for Die Schwaben, who have picked up just three points across their opening three matches - thanks to a 1-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Visitors St. Pauli have started the season sensationally, and have begun to add goals to what was a fantastic defensive unit last term.

After picking up a point against Borussia Dortmund on opening weekend, Pauli have picked up a further six points thanks to a derby win against Hamburg, and a 2-1 victory against Augsburg at the Millerntor.

With both sides carrying contrasting records into tonight's clash, the lineups are as follows:

Stuttgart - 4-2-3-1: Nübel - Assignon, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstädt - Chema Andres, Stiller - Leweling, El Khannouss, Tomas - Demirovic

St. Pauli - 3-4-1-2: Vasilj - Wahl, Smith, Dzwigala - Saliakas, Sands, Fujita, Oppie - Sinani - Hountondji, Pereira Lage
