Bochum vs St. Pauli Prediction and Betting Tips | January 15th 2025

Bochum will face St. Pauli at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion on Wednesday in another round of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have endured a poor campaign this season and are now in danger of dropping down to the second tier for the first time since the 2020-21 season as they sit rock-bottom in the Bundesliga table with eight points.

They were beaten 2-0 by Mainz in their last match conceding a goal midway through either half as they recorded a fifth consecutive winless outing against the 05ers.

St. Pauli have also had their struggles upon promotion this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They were beaten 1-0 by Champions League-chasing Eintracht Frankfurt last time out and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing in both halves.

The visitors sit 14th in the league standings with 14 points from 16 matches and will be looking to pick up their first win of the year on Wednesday.

Bochum vs St. Pauli Prediction

Bochum suffered a largely unsurprising defeat in their opening game of 2025 and have work to do in their push for survival. Statistically, they are only slightly better at home than on the road but will be looking to capitalize on their home advantage this week.

St. Pauli have lost three of their last four league matches and five of their last seven in the competition. They have, however, been decent on the road this season and should be able to pick up a point here.

Prediction: Bochum 1-1 St. Pauli
