For over 2.5 goals: Bayer had 2 out of 5 matches over, St. Pauli 3 out of 5. In the first half, Bayer had 3 out of 5 games over 1.5 goals, St. Pauli 2 out of 5.

Bayer most frequently scores in the 0-15 and 31-45 minute intervals (38% each), St. Pauli scores late (76-90, 38%). Bayer concedes most often in the 16-30, 31-45, and 76-90 minute intervals (33% each), St. Pauli in the 61-75 (60%). The logical choice seems to be over 2.5 goals at 1.75: both teams have average scoring stats, St. Pauli had three of their last five matches with three or more goals, Bayer two. The activity intervals of both teams and their tendency for high-scoring ends also support the over bet.
Bayer averages 5 corners per match, St. Pauli 4.6. In the last five matches, both teams had 3 out of 5 cases where the total corners exceeded 9.5. Among the odds for total corners is a line at 9.5: over 9.5 is at 2.01, under 9.5 at 1.80. Based on these figures, a bet on over 9.5 corners seems justified: both teams regularly take 5 or more corners, and the frequency of this total being exceeded in the last five games is 3 times for both. It's also worth noting that Bayer and St. Pauli are not prone to a large number of cards: in the last five matches, there were never more than four warnings.
