St. Pauli vs Werder Bremen Prediction 14.12.2024 | Bundesliga

• Competition: Germany - Bundesliga
• Date: Saturday, 14th, December 2024
• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18.30 CET
• Venue: Millerntor-Stadion (Hamburg)

In their quest for points to move closer to European spots, Werder Bremen will visit St. Pauli at Millerntor-Stadion for a Saturday Bundesliga clash.

After a 15-year absence from top-tier football, St. Pauli's relentless efforts finally paid off last season as they clinched promotion to the German top flight as 2. Bundesliga champions, with their main priority now being survival in the elite division. Although their comeback to the Bundesliga started on a pessimistic note, the Hamburg-based club managed to recover from their difficult spell and post some good results that allowed them to rise out of the red zone.

For their part, Werder Bremen shouldn’t be overly concerned about staying in the top division this season, as they have already built a comfortable nine-point gap over Heidenheim, who are currently sitting in the relegation playoff spot. Instead, it seems that the River Islanders have lofty ambitions to mount a strong challenge for the upper echelons of the table and earn a ticket in one of the European competitions, currently just two points behind Wolfsburg, who hold the UEFA Europa League spot.

St. Pauli vs Werder Bremen Betting Tips: X2 (DOUBLE CHANCE)

With no question that the team from Bremen is showing a better performance and more hope this season, we feel confident that they have enough depth to come away with a positive outcome from their Saturday trip. Newcomers St. Pauli have failed to impress their loyal fans with their home results, as a routine 3-1 win over lowly-ranked Holstein Kiel marked not only their first home win but also their first goals after previously going scoreless in the first five games at Millerntorn (D2 L3). 

However, we believe that Kiezkicker will be brought back to harsh reality on Saturday when ambitious Werder Bremen visits, who come into this match having registered back-to-back identical 1-0 wins over Darmstadt and Bochum. In addition, it's worth mentioning that hte River Islanders have performed notably better on their travels than at home this year, with five of their seven away games ending in triumph so far. In what could be a closely contested match, we believe Ole Verner's side is much closer to claiming all three points than St. Pauli, as they seem to inspire more confidence in every aspect of their play.
