VfL Bochum welcome St. Pauli at Vonovia Ruhrstadion, Bochum on Sunday, Apr 11 at 1:30 PM in a 2. Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

VfL Bochum come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). St. Pauli, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. VfL Bochum won their last outing, while St. Pauli suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

In 10 previous meetings, VfL Bochum lead 4–2 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in St. Pauli won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives VfL Bochum a slight edge, but St. Pauli are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
