Bochum vs St. Pauli prediction and betting tips on January 15, 2025

Game Prediction

In the 17th round of the Bundesliga 1 Germany, on January 15, 2025, Bochum will face St. Pauli. The newcomer will try to secure a win against the league's main outsider to improve its chances of staying in the top division.
Our prediction for the match Bochum vs St. Pauli
"Die Unbeatable" (The Unbeaten) lived up to their nickname brilliantly last season. They lost the battle for the 15th place to Union on additional points and lost the first relegation playoff against Fortuna Düsseldorf. However, in the return leg, they made a comeback and, winning the penalty shootout, managed to stay in Bundesliga 1. Meanwhile, "The Pirates" finally returned to the top flight, having won the second division.
The manager who achieved this, Hürtzeler, left for England in the summer after being invited by Brighton. However, even without a coach, the newcomer, led by Blessing, has managed to stay above the relegation zone. This has been enough with just fourteen points, though after the break, they started with a 0-1 home loss to Eintracht. The home side, on the other hand, clearly just delayed their drop to a lower division for another year. Even after the appointment of Hecking as coach, they still remain at the bottom with a disappointing six points (though, under him, they drew with Union and beat Heidenheim in December). The gap is widening, with a 0-2 loss to Mainz in December.
