Bayer Leverkusen to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Bayer Leverkusen to win as they’ve won 2 of their last 3 games against St Pauli and have double the goals scored this season. Leverkusen’s average possession (59.1%) and pass accuracy (88.7%) point to clear technical superiority, while Pauli’s win rate sits at just 19%.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to Leverkusen’s high chance creation (46 big chances, 39 goals scored) and St Pauli’s defensive frailty (35 conceded in 21). Previous head-to-heads have also averaged 2.7 goals per game.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
