Overview

  • Kickoff is set for Friday, 29 August at 20:30 local time, with live coverage only on Sky and its streaming service WOW.
  • Hamburg police classify the match as a high-risk fixture and will deploy increased resources given large crowds and a concurrent concert at the Trabrennbahn.
  • Organized supporter events include an HSV march from Platz der Republik at 15:00 and a St. Pauli bicycle and roller convoy departing Millerntor at 16:15.
  • The 57,000-seat stadium is sold out, with roughly 5,500 away supporters expected.
  • Both sides opened the season with draws (HSV 0:0 at Mönchengladbach; St. Pauli 3:3 vs. Dortmund) as coaches Merlin Polzin and Alexander Blessin urge a peaceful occasion.
