Werder Bremen vs St. Pauli prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-04-26 15:30.
[p]Werder Bremen have enjoyed a late surge up the Bundesliga table after winning five of their last six games (L1) and are now in with a fighting chance of qualifying for Europe. Germany’s top six at the end of this term are guaranteed some form of European football, and given that Werder begin Round 31 just four points behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig, their sights could even be set on the UEFA Champions League![/p]
[p]They haven’t ventured into Europe for almost two decades, but Ole Werner’s side are certainly giving their supporters reason to hope, with seven of their last nine victories coming with a clean sheet. Their current run of four consecutive wins is the longest active winning streak in the division, and their own best since the 2014/15 campaign, when they won five in a row under Viktor Skrypnyk.[/p]
[p]St Pauli’s battle is at the bottom of the Bundesliga as they aim to cement their top-flight status, and a run of just one defeat in their last six league games has aided their cause (W2, D3). Alexander Blessin’s side sat eight points clear of the relegation play-off spot at the start of the round and a further five points or more from their last four games of the campaign will secure their safety.[/p]
[p]Since the introduction of three points per win, no side sitting 15th or higher in the Bundesliga has ever blown a lead of more than five points over 16th this late into a season. History indicates they will do well to pick up three points here though, having failed to win a single one of the last 16 Bundesliga H2Hs (D4, L12), with their only top-flight victory coming in the pair’s inaugural meeting in 1977![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mitchell Weiser has registered a goal involvement in five of his last six appearances (G2, A3), and set up Werder’s second goal in December’s reverse fixture (W 2-0). Elias Saad has two goal involvements in his last three starts (G1, A1), with four of his six goal involvements this term (G3, A3) coming in the first half.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: St Pauli have failed to score in 14 of their 30 Bundesliga games so far this season, an unwanted league high at the start of the round.[/p]
