Liga Bundesliga Jerman : St. Pauli VS Bayer Leverkusen (Tuesday, 22 April 2025)

Bundesliga Prediction: St. Pauli vs Bayer Leverkusen – Monday, April 22, 2025, at 00:30 WIB

This Bundesliga matchup pits newly promoted St. Pauli against the league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. While playing at home could give St. Pauli a boost, they’ll need more than just crowd support to overcome one of Europe’s most in-form sides.

Match Preview

Leverkusen, under Xabi Alonso, are in phenomenal form—dominating possession, pressing with intensity, and showing composure in front of goal. St. Pauli, on the other hand, have shown courage this season but will likely focus on a deep defensive line and hope to strike on the counter.

Expect Leverkusen to control the pace from kickoff. If St. Pauli aren’t disciplined defensively, this could turn into a one-sided contest.
