The <b>two-time DFB-Pokal winners<\/b> claimed the trophy in the 2023-24 season as part of their unbeaten domestic double under Xabi Alonso. Coach <b>Kasper Hjulmand<\/b> has been explicit about his ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The players and I are very, very motivated to win something,&#8221; Hjulmand stated. &#8220;My children are always asking, &#8216;What have you won.&#8217; It&#8217;s important to win something, and here&#8217;s a chance to win a trophy this season.&#8221; With <b>three consecutive semi-final runs<\/b>, Leverkusen know exactly what it takes to reach another final. Saturday&#8217;s impressive <b>3-1 victory over Frankfurt<\/b> proved their form is sharp heading into this quarter-final clash.<\/p>\n<h2>St. Pauli&#8217;s Desperate Bid for Salvation<\/h2>\n<p><b>St. Pauli<\/b> arrives at the BayArena as <b>17th in Bundesliga<\/b> with just <b>3 wins, 5 draws, 12 losses<\/b>. They are <b>five points from safety<\/b> and winless in their last six league matches. Yet their cup run offers a glimmer of hope in a bleak season. Their shocking <b>2-1 victory at Monchengladbach<\/b> featured goals from <b>Martijn Kaars and Louis Oppie<\/b>, proving they can compete against top-tier opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Coach <b>Alexander Blessin<\/b> needs momentum desperately. St. Pauli&#8217;s <b>low-scoring attack<\/b> has been their Achilles heel all season, so they quickly signed Japanese forward <b>Taichi Hara<\/b> on a free transfer from Kyoto Sanga. Still, meeting <b>Leverkusen at BayArena<\/b> represents a daunting test for the relegation-threatened side.<\/p>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Factor<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Leverkusen<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>St. Pauli<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Record<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>11-2-6, 6th place<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>3-5-12, 17th place<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Key Threats<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Victor Schick, Florian Wirtz<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Martijn Kaars, Ricky-Jade Jones<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Form<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>3 consecutive wins<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Winless 6 games, 1 upset win<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Leverkusen&#8217;s History Against St. Pauli<\/h2>\n<p><b>Leverkusen remains unbeaten<\/b> against St. Pauli since their Bundesliga return in <b>2024<\/b>. The record stands at <b>2 wins and 1 draw<\/b> across three meetings. At the BayArena specifically, Hjulmand&#8217;s side boasts impressive form with <b>5 consecutive DFB-Pokal home victories<\/b>. For St. Pauli to progress, they must stop a team playing at peak confidence and attacking firepower.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, although <b>St. Pauli has won 2 of their 13 away matches<\/b> this season, both victories came in cup competitions. This suggests the cup brings out something different in Blessin&#8217;s side, but the gap in quality remains decisive.<\/p>\n<blockquote style='border-left:4px solid #3498db;padding-left:20px;margin:25px 0;font-style:italic;color:#555'><p>&#8220;We&#8217;re two games away from a big final. That&#8217;s a huge motivation for us. The Pokal is important to this club, and we want to win it.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style='font-size:0.9em;color:#666;margin-top:-15px'>\u2014 <b>Kasper Hjulmand<\/b>, Bayer Leverkusen Head Coach<\/p>\n<h2>Injury Concerns and Team News<\/h2>\n<p><b>Leverkusen faces setbacks<\/b> with <b>Ibrahim Maza sidelined<\/b> due to a knee injury. The creative midfielder&#8217;s absence removes a key playmaker from the attack. Also unavailable are <b>Mark Flekken, Eliesse Ben Seghir, and Nathan Tella<\/b>, limiting Hjulmand&#8217;s attacking options. On the positive side, <b>Victor Schick<\/b> returns as a focal point in attack, supported by wide players <b>Alex Grimaldo<\/b> and the midfield assembly.<\/p>\n<p><b>St. Pauli<\/b> welcomes back several players but still misses <b>Hauke Wahl, Adam Dzwigala, Connor Metcalfe, Andreas Hountondji, and David Nemeth<\/b>. The Hamburg side&#8217;s defensive vulnerabilities, combined with their attacking struggles, make containing Leverkusen&#8217;s fluid offensive play exceptionally difficult.<\/p>\n<h2>Can Leverkusen Reach Another Semi-Final?<\/h2>\n<p>History suggests yes. Leverkusen&#8217;s dominance at home, combined with their current form and clear trophy hunger, makes them overwhelming favorites. Yet football always contains surprises, and St. Pauli has already delivered one shocking victory in this competition. The quarter-final showdown promises tactical intrigue, as Blessin must decide whether to press high or sit deep and absorb pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, <b>Leverkusen&#8217;s quality should prevail<\/b>, but St. Pauli&#8217;s cup pedigree and recent upset victory demand respect. Watch for early St. Pauli intensity before fatigue potentially sets in during the second half as Leverkusen&#8217;s superior depth takes over. The semi-finals await the victor.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Yahoo Sports<\/b> &#8211; Comprehensive preview with team news and predicted lineups<\/li>\n<li><b>ESPN<\/b> &#8211; Live
