FC St. Pauli vs Bayer Leverkusen

The Werkself have claimed a league-high 32 points away from home in 2024/25 and are the only team without a defeat on their travels.

They are currently six points adrift of league leaders FC Bayern – no team has ever made up a deficit of more than four points this late on in the season (since 3 points per win was introduced).

Bayer 04 Leverkusen allow their opponents an average of just 9.6 shots per game this season, FC St. Pauli 11.0 – only FC Bayern München have faced fewer on average (6.5).
