Permanent problem: Werder Bremen is urgently looking for points against St. Pauli!

Next Saturday, October 4th, at 3:30 p.m. a hotly anticipated duel in the Bundesliga is on the program: Werder Bremen welcomes FC St. Pauli to the Weserstadion. Both teams desperately need points, with Werder currently in 15th place with just 4 points from 5 games. This means that the pressure on coach Ole Werner's team is great, especially after a clear 0-4 debacle against Bayern Munich, which robbed them of additional self-confidence. *Sports.yahoo.com* describes that Werder performed poorly in this game and could hardly assert themselves offensively.

Bremen's last appearances show a mixed picture: an impressive 4-0 win against Borussia Mönchengladbach was followed by painful defeats against SC Freiburg and Bayern. Of particular concern is the goal difference of 8:14, which is the worst in the league - a real wake-up call for the defensive line. However, there is one bright spot: new signing Victor Boniface, who came from Bayer Leverkusen and is still missing his first goal for his new team, could provide a breath of fresh air in the coming game.

St. Pauli on the rise

On the other hand, the situation for FC St. Pauli looks more optimistic. With 7 points from 5 games they are in 9th place and can look back on two moderate defeats against Stuttgart and Leverkusen. Top goalscorer Andreas Houtondji has already proven his class with 3 goals, while goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj is consistently showing good performances according to reports from *mopo.de*.

The balance between the two teams clearly speaks for Werder Bremen. Bremen won 17 of 26 matches, while St. Pauli was only able to win two games. However, there were also unpleasant memories for the Paulians: They have never won in the Weserstadion - their last Bundesliga win against Werder dates back to 1977.

A decisive duel

With referee Sören Storks and his assistants, the game is led by an experienced team. It will be particularly important for Werder Bremen on the pitch to get at least one point in order to avoid falling further into the relegation vortex. The Bremen fans hope that the team will overcome its defensive weaknesses and carry the momentum from the win against Gladbach into the upcoming match.

In the Bundesliga's all-time table, Werder Bremen is fortunately in 3rd place out of 58, and with participation in 60 of 63 possible seasons, the club is an integral part of the German football landscape. Given this tradition, the team should be able to hold its own against St. Pauli and live up to the fans' expectations. Viewers can look forward to a passionate encounter that could set the course for the next few weeks.

The match will be broadcast on both DAZN and Sky Sport, so fans are well-equipped to watch the action live.
