Werder Bremen vs. St. Pauli: Match Prediction
At the start of this season, Bremen is experiencing serious defensive problems. Werder makes too many mistakes at the back and has already conceded 14 goals in the current Bundesliga season. This situation is largely due to numerous losses in the defensive line. Even at home, the team struggles defensively, having conceded six goals in two home matches this season – three each from Bayer Leverkusen and Freiburg.
St. Pauli, even away from home, aims to create as many chances as possible, allowing them to score regularly. In their last seven away Bundesliga matches, the Hamburg side failed to score only twice, and in four instances during this stretch, they netted at least two goals. I expect an effective attacking performance from Alexander Blessin's side, and my prediction: St. Pauli Individual Total Over 1
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
