Team News

St. Pauli
Leverkusen
  • Aussie Jackson Irvine is battling a foot injury, while James Sands will be a huge loss for the rest of the season after injuring ankle ligaments.
  • Karol Mets has a patella injury, while back-up goalkeepers Sascha Burchert and Sören Ahlers are both out with long-term with knee injuries.
  • Xabi Alonso may wield the rotation wand after some turgid performances of late.
  • Mario Hermoso will miss the rest of the season after picking up a shoulder injury grappling Harry Kane to the floor, so Tah, Arthur, Tapsoba, Hincapie and Mukiele will likely compete for spots in defence.
  • Jeanuël Belocian will miss the rest of the season after suffering an ACL injury, and Martin Terrier has a season-ending Achilles injury.

Prediction

  • 2.Bundesliga champions St. Pauli have scored the fewest goals, but this is marginally offset by the fourth tightest defence with only 34 conceded.
  • Trailing six points behind with just five games remaining, only victory will cut it for second-placed Leverkusen, who simply must win to stay in the title race.
  • After a precious away win last weekend, St. Pauli lie seven points from the relegation playoff place and within reach of safety.
  • The reverse fixture ended 2-1 in Leverkusen's favour and we back Xabi Alonso's reigning champions to run out winners once again.
