From the statistics, St Pauli has 1 win, 2 draws, and 3 losses out of the last 6 Bundesliga games played, and this shows a team that is highly inconsistent. St Pauli averages just 1 goal per game, while conceding 1.3 goals. These stats highlight the struggle of the newly promoted side, who have found out that the Bundesliga can be cruel. At Millerntor-Stadion, the team has fared somewhat better.
Despite St Pauli's league position, the team has found the courage to be competitive. It is in defence that the team's resilience is obvious, but occasional lapses in concentration have been costly. As survival is still a possibility no matter how distant, St Pauli will be aiming to ciphon some energy from their home crowd and compete against Leverkusen.
St Pauli: Lineup
Prior to this game, some key players were not present in the St Pauli squad. A leader in the midfield, Jackson Irvine, will be one major loss to the team. Sören Burchert, Simon Zoller, Karol Mets, and James Sands are all unavailable due to injury, and this will definitely limit Alexander Blessin's tactical formation. There will surely be rotation in the squad.
The coach will definitely stick to the 3-4-2-1 formation, which will help the team to be solid. When defending, about seven players will be available and this will make it difficult for Leverkusen to penetrate.
🔖 FC St. Pauli predicted lineup (3-4-2-1)
Vasilj – Dźwigała, Wahl, Nemeth – Treu, Saliakas, Irvine, Smith – Saad, Afolayan – Sinani
⛔️ Out: Jackson Irvine, Sören Burchert, Simon Zoller, Karol Mets, James Sands (all injured)

Bayer Leverkusen: form and statistics
Die Werkself head into the game in good form, although the team lost in a bad manner when playing against Werder Bremen. Bayer Leverkusen is still considered a great team in Germany and will be hoping to carry that into a match with a lesser-known team in the Bundesliga. Bayer Leverkusen averages 2.5 goals per game and also concedes 0.8 goals when considering the last six games played. A good sign for Leverkusen is the fact that the team has been ruthless, especially when playing away from home.
It is largely thanks to the brilliance of Xabi Alonso that Leverkusen have found a style of play that they can identify with. The style typically combines possession-based with very quick transitions while having a solid defence. The midfield mostly controls the game and feeds the attack line. It seems Leverkusen might not be able to usurp Bayern Munich but they will surely give it a try.
Bayer Leverkusen: Lineup
We expect Bayer Leverkusen to approach this game high on confidence despite a few absences that could potentially impact the squad depth and tactical flexibility. Mario Hermoso, who is a key defensive signing, is missing through injury as well as Martin Terrier and Jeanuel Belocian. Despite the unavailability of these three players, the core of the first team is available and ready to go, and this will be great news for Xavi Alonso as he will have enough quality players on the field.
Xavi Alonso will maintain his fluid 3-5-2 formation that helps the team be fluid and press high up the pitch. With Schick and Boniface available, the attack will be fluid. Leverkusen will control the game with this formation.
🔖 Bayer Leverkusen predicted lineup (3-5-2)
Hrádecký – Tah, Tapsoba, Hincapié – Frimpong, Palacios, Xhaka, Grimaldo, Garcia – Tella, Schick
⛔️ Out: Mario Hermoso, Martin Terrier, Jeanuel Belocian (all injured)
👤 Head coach: Xabi Alonso
