Sky expert Torsten Mattuschka assumes that Hamburger SV will remain in the second division. He had FC St. Pauli on his list as a promotion candidate “even before the season”. His tip for Friday is 2:2. Meanwhile, the police are preparing.
It has long been the topic of conversation in Hamburg – how will HSV and FC St. Pauli perform in the Volkspark on Friday evening? Sky expert Torsten Mattuschka does not assume that the city derby will have a winner. “I predicted 2:2 weeks ago,” said the 43-year-old on Thursday at a media round in the Hanseatic city. At the end of the series he believes in the promotion of the neighborhood club and a seventh year in the second division for HSV.

“One city, two clubs. There’s explosiveness in it,” said Mattuschka, who played a few derbies against Hertha as a Union Berlin player, before the game on Friday evening (6.30 p.m./Sky) in the Volksparkstadion. It’s no wonder for him that FC St. Pauli is performing so well: “I had St. Pauli on my list before the season.” The second half of the previous series under coach Fabian Hürzeler had already been “really stable.”

If HSV still wants to hope for relegation, it has to win the three remaining games. However, since the “Rothosen” have not managed to win two games in a row in the second half of the season, this could be difficult. The TV expert thinks highly of the new HSV coach Steffen Baumgart: “He suits HSV.” Even if they don’t get promoted, the club should “give “Baumi” the new season.”
When asked about the most important players for the derby, Mattuschka made up his mind: “Marcel Hartel and Robert Glatzel.” St. Paulis Hartel is regularly in top form against their city rivals, and “Glatzel is the most effective striker in the league.”
Police preparations
In order to prevent riots and riots at the 111th city derby, the police are relying on their security concept from the previous games of the two second division soccer teams. “The heart of it is the strict separation of the fan groups in order to ensure the safety of everyone,” said a spokesman on Thursday. Mixing of fan groups should be prevented. “An endangerment of uninvolved third parties must also be ruled out. Both before, during and after the game.”

Since the fan groups of the two clubs are hostile to each other, the police classify the game as a risky game. “We will be deployed again with a large contingent of forces. Support comes from Bavaria, Bremen, Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein as well as from the federal police,” said the spokesman. The number of planned emergency services was not mentioned.
There are special rules for the away fans. Both clubs pointed out that wearing FC St. Pauli fan paraphernalia outside the guest area is not permitted due to fan separation. These include, among other things, jerseys, scarves, skull sweaters and the like. Anyone who does not follow this rule will not be allowed access to the stadium.
