St. Pauli vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Tips
St. Pauli’ finally cheered their fans with an away win over “Holstein Kiel” (2:1) on the previous matchday, which was only the second success for Alexander Blessin’s team in the last ten Bundesliga rounds. Prior to that, the Hamburgers were seriously stagnating, accumulating only nine points in that stretch (3 draws, 5 defeats). However, after a long drought, when the team failed to score in four consecutive matches, ‘St. Pauli’ have now scored in five matches in a row.
Bayer stumbled in the clash with Union Berlin, drawing in a goalless duel and thus interrupting their Bundesliga winning streak, which lasted three matchdays. The draw was the eighth clean sheet of the season for Leverkusen, and only the fifth time they had kept a clean sheet – a display of stability worthy of a top team. Xabi Alonso’s men remain among the leaders in attacking power: 63 goals on the season, behind only the ultra-effective ‘Bayern’ (83).
