Match Prediction: Werder Bremen vs. St. Pauli
Bremen is in good form, having won four consecutive matches, which has brought them closer to the European spots. It's likely that Werder would already be in the top six if not for their defensive issues. At home this season, Ole Werner's team has kept a clean sheet in only 4 of 15 matches, ranking fifth from the bottom in defensive reliability. However, Bremen has scored in their last 6 home Bundesliga games.
Hamburg is also performing well, remaining unbeaten in 5 of 6 league matches and scoring in all of them. However, Alexander Blessin's side has only kept a clean sheet once during this period. In their last five away matches in the league, St. Pauli has not managed a single clean sheet.
Both teams, being in good form, are expected to deliver an entertaining and high-scoring game. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
