Top-flight German football is being shown live on the BBC this season after rights were secured to broadcast Friday night Bundesliga matches through to 2027.
The coverage continues on Friday, 17 April when St. Pauli take on Köln in this week's Bundesliga fixture as both sides try to avoid relegation.
Matches will be available to watch live on the BBC Sport website, app and on BBC iPlayer every Friday, with clips of the biggest in-game moments across BBC Sport's social media channels.
St. Pauli are struggling for form as of late, having not won a Bundesliga match since the end of February and have only picked up two points in their last five matches. Their issue is scoring goals, having only scored 25 goals in their 29 games this season and only two in their last five matches.
A win for the Hamburg side is needed on Friday night. Although the three points wouldn't lift them out of the relegation play-off position (unless they win by at least six goals), it would put pressure on those above them going into the final matches of the season.
Köln, unlike their opponents, have started to find some form. After only managing two wins in 18 matches, René Wagner was appointed during the international break to try and get the Billy Goats' season back on track and since then have managed to earn a point on the road to Eintracht Frankfurt as well as get their first win in eight games beating relegation rivals Werder Bremen 3-1 last time out.
Köln are now on a four-match unbeaten run for the first time this season and will be looking to extend this run on Friday night. However, Wagner's side will be wanting all three points on the road to broaden the distance between them and relegation, something his side have failed to do since October.
This match has been played out 32 times across all competitions, with Köln winning 21 of these matches and St. Pauli only winning four of them. The Billy Goats are on a seven-match unbeaten run against their Hamburg opponents; however, the last time either side walked away with all three points in the Bundesliga was back in 2011 when St. Pauli won 3-0 at home.
This week, the BBC is broadcasting the match between St. Pauli and Köln.
