Every match in a relegation battle feels like a final, and for FC St. Pauli, this one might just be the last lifeline they need. Alexander Blessin's squad is desperate for a turnaround, and they face a Mainz 05 side still nursing the sting of last week's dramatic collapse. Remember that 3-0 lead against Bayern Munich? Urs Fischer's team watched it slip away in a chaotic 3-4 loss. Now, both teams have everything to play for.

With kickoff just an hour away, the tension is palpable at the Millerntor. Can St. Pauli dig deep and find the grit to climb out of the danger zone? Or will Mainz channel their frustration into a much-needed road win? Here are the confirmed lineups for this crucial Bundesliga clash.

FC St. Pauli: Vasilj - Ando, Wahl, Mets - Pyrka, Irvine, Smith, Ritzka - Sinani, Fujita - Hountondji

Mainz 05: Batz - Da Costa, Posch, Potulski - Widmer, Sano, Amiri, Nebel, Mwene - Becker, Tietz
