Bayer Leverkusen vs St. Pauli Prediction & Betting Tips (3 February)

Victorious in this German Cup in 2024, Bayer Leverkusen would undoubtedly like to do it again this year. To reach the quarter-finals, this team won without too much trouble against Grossaspach 0-4 and Paderborn 2-4 before bringing down Borussia Dortmund at the start of December 0-1. At the same time, the Usine 11 is in the fight for European places in the championship. 6th after his victory against Werder Bremen 1-0, he will want to make a good move this weekend against Eintracht Frankfurt. Finally, in the Champions League, Bayer Leverkusen ensured their qualification for the play-offs last week by crushing a demobilized Villarreal team 3-0. For their part, Sankt Pauli have never won this German Cup and are not sure that achieving it is really the priority objective of this team this season.

Indeed, the club from the working-class neighborhoods of Hamburg is in difficulty in the championship where it is fighting to maintain itself. Dominated by Wolfsburg 2-1 and Dortmund 3-2, the Pirates of the League were still able to raise their heads by avoiding defeat against Hamburg 0-0 then against Leipzig. They will then challenge Augsburg next weekend to get closer to the first non-relegation spot. In the Cup, Sankt Pauli successively dismissed Norderstedt 0-0, 2-3 TAB, Hoffenheim 2-2, 8-7 TAB and finally Mönchengladbach 1-2 to reach the quarter-finals. 

On the Bayer side, goalkeeper Flekken and winger Tella must still remain in the hands of the medical staff. It will be the same for replacement Ben Seghir who returned injured from the CAN. Also absent recently, senior defender Tapsoba is expected this week. On the other hand, we should find in this team the Czech striker Schick (6 goals, 2 assists) and the excellent Spanish piston Grimaldo (5 goals, 4 assists in the Bundesliga) in particular. The French striker Martin Terrier (3 goals) and the American Tillman (3 goals) are also candidates to start.

On the Pauli side, the Austrian defender Nemeth must once again give up appearing on the match sheet. The former Caennais Hountondji, who is the most decisive player of this team with 4 goals, and Lesser striker Metcalfe are also forced to stay at the dock injured. Forward Jones (2 goals) and the former Angevin and Brestois Pereira-Lage (2 assists decisive) will undoubtedly be operational. Also watch out for striker Kaars (3 goals in the Bundesliga).
