Bremen in hot pursuit of European football

With four games left to play in the Bundesliga this season, Werder Bremen are firmly in contention to make the top six and they can boost their chances with a home win over lowly St Pauli.

Ahead of this weekend’s matches, Bremen were level on 45 points with Borussia Dortmund and found themselves just four points off the Champions League places.

That is thanks to a run of four straight wins and five wins in their last six matches with Bremen taking down Bayer Leverkusen, Holstein Kiel, Eintracht Frankfurt, Stuttgart and Bochum since the start of March.

Romano Schmid and Oliver Burke have been in the goals recently but they are a cohesive unit under Ole Werner and can grind out another win over St Pauli.

Complacency could set in for St Pauli

The visitors are on course for survival in their first season back in the Bundesliga since the 2010-11 season and there is every chance their foot could come off the pedal slightly with eight points separating them from the relegation playoff spot.

Bremen are worth backing to win this game but St Pauli typically keep their matches tight with their league matches averaging just 2.07 goals per game.

Therefore, back Bremen to win and under 3.5 goals, while 2-0 appeals in the correct-score betting, having been the scoreline when these sides met in December.
