St. Pauli vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting Tips (14 December)

After a good fifteen years of absence at the highest level, Sankt Pauli was able to return to the elite in the off-season with the priority objective of remaining there at all costs. In difficulty quite quickly in this Bundesliga, the Hamburg-based club was then able to raise its head and obtain some quite interesting results which allowed it to climb out of the red zone and still maintain a small point lead over the barrage. . Dominated on the field of Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0, the Pirates of the League then performed very well by dominating Holstein Kiel 3-1, a direct opponent in the race to remain, before suffering another setback against the Bayer Leverkusen 2-1. Werder Bremen, for their part, should not have to worry about their survival in the elite this season as they have quickly distanced themselves from the red zone.

He also has a nice lead of 8 points over his opponent of the day before this meeting. But this team could still enjoy a few thrills in the second half of the season by trying to get a ticket for a European competition since it is currently only 2 small units behind the 5th place occupied by Wolfsburg. After having had to lose against a formidable Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0, the Werderaner were able to hold Stuttgart in check 2-2 then they went to dictate their law on the ground of the red lantern, Bochum 0-1.

Sankt Pauli still has many injuries that will still have to be done without this weekend. Among them, we can cite the names of the long-term absentee Zoller, the substitute goalkeepers Voll, Ahlers and Burchert, the midfielders Metcalfe and Wagner, the Tunisian striker Elias Saad (2 goals), the substitute Banks and the defender holder Mets who will have to give up again this Saturday. To this we add that the striker on loan from RC Lens, Morgan Guilavogui, is suspended this week. This is a hard blow for this team since the Malian scored his second goal of the season on the last day. It is offensively that this team is failing since it has only scored 11 goals so far this season.

Werder will travel to Hamburg without senior defender Agu (2 goals) and young striker Topp (1 goal) who will both still have to be patient in the infirmary. Midfielder Naby Keïta is no longer part of the club's plans although he remains under contract. Otherwise, coach Ole Werner should be able to count on his entire squad for this trip since defender Veljkovic could make his return. Excellent in midfield, the Danish Stage is even particularly prolific since he scored his 6th goal of the season against Bochum, well served by the formidable Ducksch (3 goals, 6 assists).
