Command Analysis
St. Pauli
GermanyCurrent form
St. Pauli is having a successful stretch of the season, suffered only one defeat in the previous five rounds and created a comfortable seven-point lead from the play-off zone. At the same time, the direct departure zone is located at a distance of nine points. The Pirates achieved maximum results in battles with direct competitors – they won 1-0 at home Hoffenheim and Holstein away 2-1. Throughout the season, Alexander Blessin's players have been demonstrating pragmatic football, relying primarily on the defense of their gates. In the passive, St. Pauli has only 35 goals conceded, which is the third highest score in the Bundesliga.
Disqualifications and injuries
Burchert, Mets, Sands, Irvine, Zoller will not play against Bayer due to injuries. The appearance of Saad and Weishaupt on the field is questionable.

- In two of the three previous matches of St. Pauli, more than two goals were scored.
Approximate line–up: Vasil – Nemeth, Wahl, Van der Heyden - Saliakas, Smith, Metcalf, Troy – Sinani – Gilavogi, Afolayan.
Bayer Leverkusen
GermanyCurrent form
In the previous round, Bayer had a good opportunity to close the gap with Bayern, which drew. However, the pharmacists did not take advantage of their chance, as they themselves parted ways with the Union on their own field (0:0). Overall, even though the game was not the most outstanding, Xabi Alonso's team won in four of the previous five rounds in the Bundesliga. Today, it looks like Wirtz will be in the squad, and with him, the Leverkusen attack operates in a more diverse way.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hermoso, Belosian, and Terje will not play today. Tella, who was injured in the match against Union, is in question.
Interesting betting trends
- In five of the seven previous matches in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen did not go without conceding goals.
- Bayer has won seven of the last nine away league matches.
Approximate composition: Hradecky – Tapsoba, Ta, Inkapye – Frimpong, Jaka, Garcia, Grimaldo– Adly, Wirtz – Chic.

This bet was played in two of the Pirates' three previous matches
2.90The exact score is 1:2
Bayer has scored two of its last three wins with a one-goal advantage.
8.20Tip and bets
Bayer did not demonstrate a bright game in recent rounds, affected by the absence of Wirtz, who is likely to appear on the field today. Nevertheless, Leverkusen won in three of the four rounds. The chances of catching up with Bayern still remain, albeit minimal. The Framerates won seven of the nine previous matches away, and they are quite capable of beating St. Pauli in the class today, which is not the best in attack.
Our betting tip is that Bayer will win by a factor of 1.70
Bet on the total
Bookmakers don't expect a very productive game, but St. Pauli is famous for its reliable defense and pragmatic football. However, it's worth noting that in two of the Pirates' three previous matches, more than two goals were scored. And in a personal meeting in the first round, Bayer won with a score of 2:1. We suggest taking advantage of a solid coefficient and betting on a total more.
The second bet is a total of more than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.02
A bet on yellow cards
When choosing a bet on statistics, we recommend that you pay attention to the fact that St. Pauli lost on yellow cards in five of the previous six matches. Pirates are not a rude team and are unlikely to receive more warnings than their opponent today.
Bet: Bayer will not lose on yellow cards with odds of 1.48
