DFB-Pokal Betting Preview: Bayer Leverkusen vs St. Pauli

Bundesliga sides Bayer Leverkusen and St. Pauli square off in this DFB-Pokal quarter-final at BayArena, with kick-off set for 15:45 on Tuesday 3 February.

Bayer Leverkusen -1 on the Asian Handicap means we need a two goal or bigger margin of victory to win this bet at -112 against St. Pauli. A one goal victory for Die Werkself would mean money back.

Bayer Leverkusen come into this cup clash after a 3–1 Bundesliga win away to Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park. The North Rhine-Westphalia outfit enjoyed 59% possession and managed four shots on target, while Arthur, Malik Tillman and Aleix Garcia each scored one goal.

In their most recent DFB-Pokal engagements, Leverkusen were 1-0 winners away to Borussia Dortmund, with St. Pauli getting a 2-1 victory when visiting Borussia Monchengladbach.
