Fixture: Werder Bremen vs St. Pauli
Date: Saturday, 04 October 2025
Kick-off: 14:30 BST
Venue: Wohninvest Weserstadion
Match Prediction: Werder Bremen 2-1 St. Pauli
Werder Bremen, despite recent heavy defeats, showed resilience with a convincing win against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Their ability to score freely in that match suggests they can exploit St. Pauli's inconsistent defence, which has conceded in their most recent games.
St. Pauli has demonstrated an ability to score against strong opposition, as seen in their draw with Borussia Dortmund. This match is likely to be closely contested, with both teams expected to score, given their recent performances.
The visitors' recent form indicates a team capable of both high and low performances. Their wins against FC Augsburg and Hamburger SV demonstrate that they can capitalise on home advantage, but losses to Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart highlight their vulnerabilities.
Werder Bremen might find opportunities to exploit these weaknesses, particularly if they can replicate their attacking prowess from the Mönchengladbach game. The match could hinge on which team manages to maintain consistency throughout.
Werder Bremen's recent form has been a mix of highs and lows, with a notable 4-0 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach sandwiched between heavy defeats. This suggests a team capable of significant scoring bursts but also prone to defensive lapses.
Their performance against Mönchengladbach indicates potential to dominate offensively, which could be crucial against St. Pauli. However, they must address their defensive frailties to secure a win.

St. Pauli has shown a pattern of inconsistency, with two wins, two losses, and a draw in their recent Bundesliga matches. Their ability to score against strong teams like Borussia Dortmund is promising, but their defensive record, particularly the losses to Bayer Leverkusen and VfB Stuttgart, raises concerns.
They will need to tighten up at the back to counter Werder Bremen's attacking threat. Their home form could be a deciding factor in this match.
