St. Pauli vs Werder Bremen Prediction and Betting Tips | December 14th 2024
St. Pauli and Werder Bremen go head-to-head at the Millerntor-Stadion in round 14 of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Ole Werner’s men have won their last four league games against the hosts and will head into the weekend looking to extend this dominant run.
St. Pauli were sent crashing back down to earth in their push from the Bundesliga danger zone last Saturday when they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen at Bay Arena.
This followed a stunning 3-1 victory over fellow strugglers Hostein Kiel, a result which saw their three-game winless run across all competitions come to an end.
With 11 points from 13 matches, St. Pauli are currently 13th in the Bundesliga standings, just one point above the relegation zone.
Werder Bremen, on the other hand, picked up back-to-back competitive wins for the first time since April as they edged out Bochum 1-0 at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion last time out.
Before that, Werner’s men booked their spot in the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Darmstadt on December 3.
Werder Bremen have picked up 19 points from their 13 Bundesliga games so far to sit 10th in the table, level on points with ninth-placed Mainz.
