Bayer Leverkusen vs St Pauli prediction: High stakes for both teams

Key Stats

Correct score prediction: Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 St Pauli

Unbeaten in five games, Bayer Leverkusen are in the midst of great form across all competitions.

Three of their last four games have seen Die Werkself score three goals, with the one exception being their most recent 1-1 draw away at Borussia Monchengladbach.

Leverkusen will be determined to continue their unbeaten run as they push for a top four finish and next season’s Champions League qualification.

St Pauli, on the other hand, are full of beans after picking up a rare win over Stuttgart last weekend.

Their fourth Bundesliga victory of the season has pushed the Kiezkickers to the brink of safety, with the club sitting just two points adrift of 15th-placed Wolfsburg.

Winning away at Leverkusen will not be easy, with St Pauli boasting one of the worst defensive records in the competition – one win and five points from 11 such games.
