Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Bochum and St. Pauli square off against each other at Vonovia Ruhrstadion in what is expected to be a close Bundesliga encounter. Bochum aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Mainz and we predict that they will leave their hearts on the field in Wednesday’s relegation six-pointer. As Tim Oermann limped off with injury in the last league match, defender Jakov Medic should be recalled to the starting line-up.
The newcomers, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt and given Bochum’s poor home record in the 2024/2025 Bundesliga campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the away team. In their last meeting in a competitive match, back in 2021, Bochum defeated St. Pauli 3-2, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. The likes of Ahlers, Burchert, Metcalfe, Ritzka, Saad, and Zoller continue to miss out with injuries, while duo Mets – Wagner will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
