Werder Bremen host St. Pauli at the Weserstadion on Sunday in the Bundesliga. The hosts are eighth in the standings, four points off the UEFA Champions League spots.
They picked up a hard-fought 1-0 home victory over relegation-threatened Bochum in their last match. Mitchell Weiser scored the winner 10 minutes from time, continuing his rich vein of form.
St. Pauli, meanwhile, are on the verge of confirming safety following a well-deserved point in a 1-1 draw with second-placed Bayer Leverkusen last weekend. They headed into the break a goal down before Carlo Boukhalfa levelled the scores from close range in the second half.
The visitors are 14th in the Bundesliga with 30 points from as many matches and are eight points clear of the lone relegation playoff spot.
