Bayer Leverkusen host St. Pauli in the DFB-Pokal quarter-finals, looking to continue their strong home form after winning three of their last four at the BayArena. Given St. Pauli's poor form, we predict a 2-0 home win. Kasper Hjumland welcomes back key defender Edmond Tapsoba from suspension, which should stabilise a backline that keeps 60% clean sheets at home and concedes just 1.20 goals per match. In attack, Leverkusen average 1.80 goals at home and come into the tie with 2.00 points per home game, underlining their efficiency despite several players – Flekken, Tella, and Ben Seghir – remaining out.
St. Pauli’s recent form is worrying, with a run of LLDDL and only 0.83 points per game away, while scoring just 1.17 goals per away match. Defensive issues persist as they concede 1.50 goals on the road and have failed to win a single match in five previous meetings with Leverkusen (4 losses, 1 draw). Although their BTTS rate away from home sits at 83%, their expected goals numbers (1.10 xG) suggest limited attacking threat against elite Bundesliga opposition. Adding to their woes, Nemeth, Metcalfe, and Houtondji are all out of contention with injuries.
Leverkusen’s quality, depth, and home advantage make them heavy favourites to reach the semi-finals. Given huge quality gap and St. Pauli’s poor away form, our prediction leans toward Home Win, with additional value on Bayer/Bayer and Bayer to Score First.
This DFB Pokal match will be played on Tuesday 3 February 2026 at 19:45.
