Leverkusen and St. Pauli battle for a place in the next round of the DFB-Pokal

Bayer 04 Leverkusen and FC St. Pauli open February with a clash that, in a cup competition, allows no second chance, so every minute on the pitch is potentially decisive. The match is played at the BayArena in Leverkusen, at BayArena, Bismarckstr. 122-124, Leverkusen, DE, and in the competition schedule it is listed as the quarter-final of the 2025/2026 season. In such a format, where one detail can change the course of the night, tickets and passes become more than entry to the stadium—they are a way to feel the pressure of high stakes firsthand. Fan interest usually grows as the competition enters its final phase, so it’s no surprise when ticket sales accelerate weeks before the date. Tickets for this match are disappearing fast, so buy your tickets in time and click the

button. Matches like these usually carry extra emotion because the crowd knows one night can open the path to a trophy.

What the quarter-final means and the route to this stage

The DFB-Pokal quarter-final always brings a special tension because the tournament narrows to a handful of contenders and every mistake becomes costlier than in earlier rounds. According to the competition schedule, the Bayer Leverkusen vs FC St. Pauli tie is played on Tuesday night, with kick-off at 20:45, which further heightens the feel of a major under-the-lights event. Leverkusen reached this stage through demanding matches and eliminations that confirm the seriousness of their cup ambition, including a win against Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16 and an earlier progression after extra time against SC Paderborn 07. St. Pauli, on the other hand, built their cup journey through ties that tested both nerves and character, including advancing after a penalty shootout against TSG Hoffenheim and a win against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the round of 16. Those very scenarios explain why tickets for dates like these are sought earlier, because fans expect drama that often goes to the end of regular time—or beyond. In the quarter-final there is no room for calculations, so the crowd at the BayArena can expect a tempo that rises as the final whistle approaches.

League standings and domestic form as a frame for the cup tie

The league situation is often a good indicator of confidence and squad depth, and in January the trends that follow teams into spring are usually already visible. Bayer Leverkusen are in the upper part of the table and, ahead of the season’s continuation, hold fourth place with 29 points from 16 matches and a positive goal difference. FC St. Pauli are in the lower part of the table, in sixteenth place with 12 points from 15 matches, which suggests that in the league every point will carry weight, while the cup offers a different kind of pressure and an opportunity for a breakthrough. Kicker’s data on the last ten matches further illustrates the difference in continuity: Leverkusen have seven wins, one draw and two losses in that period, while St. Pauli have three wins, three draws and four losses. Still, a cup tie often erases part of the table logic, especially when an underdog arrives more relaxed and ready for a compact match with a clear plan. That is precisely why it’s important to see how league momentum will spill over into the BayArena clash, where the atmosphere can push the hosts forward but also further motivate the visitors. For fans who want to be part of that context, buying tickets means securing a seat at the moment when the season turns toward the most important goals.

Tactical frameworks: control of tempo versus discipline and transition

In cup matches like these, Leverkusen often look for early control of possession and tempo, because that reduces the risk of sudden blows and forces the opponent to defend in a deep block. The key will be how the hosts use width and movements between the lines, especially if St. Pauli set up a dense midfield and try to steer attacks toward the wide areas. In many away games, St. Pauli rely on discipline, aggressiveness in duels and quick transitions, because that is a way to create chances against stronger squads without long spells of attacking possession. The cup format further emphasizes the importance of set pieces, so both defending and attacking set pieces will be the segment where the match can be decided in a single moment. If Leverkusen score early, the match can head toward a one-way game in which the visitors must open up, but if St. Pauli withstand the initial wave and stay in touch on the scoreboard, the pressure in the stands can become a double-edged sword. That is exactly why tickets for nights like these carry special value, because the stadium is where you feel best how tactics turn into emotion, a whistle or an explosion of delight. At the BayArena every detail is often visible, and tactical nuances become tangible when you follow the lines’ movement live.

Leverkusen’s strengths: squad depth and match-winners

For Bayer 04 Leverkusen, a cup match at this stage demands a combination of routine and a cool head, and squad depth becomes crucial as the season’s tempo intensifies. According to available statistical team overviews, Patrik Schick is among the most efficient finishers, while Alejandro Grimaldo and Ernest Poku provide both goals and assists, opening multiple routes to the final third. The hosts often have the luxury of changing the pace from the bench—whether with extra speed in attack or solidity in midfield—and that option in the cup can be the difference in extra time or in the final twenty minutes. An important segment will also be the stability of the back line, because St. Pauli look for moments for a quick breakout and a shot from a half-chance, so concentration on the second ball and defensive transition becomes mandatory. Leverkusen have shown in earlier cup rounds that they can win tight matches, for example through a narrow win against Borussia Dortmund in the round of 16, which is the kind of profile that often brings trophies. Fans who follow the team know that nights like these at the BayArena shape a season, so it’s no surprise that tickets become one of the hottest topics as soon as the quarter-final pairing is confirmed. Anyone who wants to feel a match where one individual move can change everything usually doesn’t wait until the last week to buy tickets.

St. Pauli: character, energy and belief in a cup surprise

FC St. Pauli come into the cup with a reputation as a team that knows how to survive tough moments, and advancing after a penalty shootout against TSG Hoffenheim and the win against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the round of 16 confirm that they handle edge-of-the-seat matches well. In the league they are fighting in the lower part of the table, but the cup often opens a different psychology, because the underdog can lean on one perfectly played night. Coach Alexander Blessin has sought a balance between aggression and stability throughout the season, and in a tie like this it’s expected that the emphasis will be on organization without the ball and fast breakouts as soon as space appears. St. Pauli will likely try to force Leverkusen into patience and crosses from unfavorable positions, with the idea that one stolen ball turns into a clear chance or a dangerous set piece. Additional motivation lies in the fact that every minute of a quarter-final is a step closer to the big stage of the final rounds, so such matches are often remembered by generations of fans. For away supporters and neutral football lovers, tickets are a chance to see how a team with a strong identity tries to outplay the favored hosts on their own ground. If St. Pauli manage to impose their energy and keep the match open, the BayArena could get a night that is talked about long after the final whistle.

Head-to-head meetings and data that add extra color

When talking about head-to-head games, it’s important to distinguish between cup and league, because the tempo and approach often differ, and cup history can be very short but intense. Kicker states that Leverkusen and St. Pauli have met twice in the DFB-Pokal, with each team having one win, a detail that further amplifies the sense of uncertainty. In the league, they have already met this season at the Millerntor-Stadion, where Leverkusen won 2:1, and reports say the match was tough and competitively sharp, with moments in which St. Pauli showed they can cause problems even for stronger opponents. That result from the early part of the season doesn’t have to be decisive, but it’s a reminder that the visitors have tools for a match in which the favorite is not comfortable. In the cup it often happens that an earlier league meeting becomes a mental reference—either as extra confidence for the hosts or as motivation for the visitors to set things right. That’s why interest in tickets usually increases when fans realize it’s not a random pairing, but a matchup in which both sides have arguments from recent practice. In the stands, such details turn into anticipation—and anticipation into noise as soon as the first real chance appears.

BayArena as a stage: closeness to the pitch and atmosphere under the floodlights

The BayArena is known for the feeling of closeness to the pitch, and official information highlights that the distance from the farthest seat to the center of the field is 94 meters, with a total capacity of 30,210, creating a compact and intense ambience. That very compactness often heightens the experience, because even the smallest duel or bench reaction is transmitted to the stands and returns to the pitch as an extra impulse. In a cup quarter-final, especially in an evening slot, the atmosphere can be on the level of the biggest European nights, without the need for a huge stadium—because density and acoustics do the work here. For fans planning to attend, tickets are a key item not only for entry but also for choosing a section and viewing angle, which at the BayArena can significantly change the impression of the match. As the competition’s finale approaches, ticket sales often gain extra momentum because fans want to secure their place before the available seats sell out. Secure your tickets now and click the

button, because a quarter-final is a night you don’t miss. In a match like this, even a simple throw-in becomes an event, and a goal almost always means an explosion felt throughout the whole stadium.

Practical information for visitors: arrival, parking and entrances

For those traveling to Leverkusen, it’s important to plan to arrive earlier because on match day traffic management is implemented around the stadium to protect nearby residents, and the club recommends using free parking at Kurtekotten with shuttle buses. According to arrival information, the Kurtekotten parking lot is available from two hours before kick-off, and shuttle buses run to the Am Stadtpark zone, from where the stadium is reached by a short walk. If arriving by train, Leverkusen Mitte is about a 20-minute walk from the BayArena and is connected by regional lines and S-Bahn line 6, with a note that for certain accessibility needs travel to the Chempark station is recommended, where there are also shuttle buses. For bus travelers, it is stated that the BayArena stop is in the immediate vicinity of the stadium and is served by lines 203, 207 and 222, which makes planning without a car easier. Such details often decide whether a fan relaxes and enters the stands on time, so checking current timetables before travel is recommended, especially if coming from the wider region. In practice, that means buying tickets goes hand in hand with organizing the trip, because a good ticket without a good travel plan can create unnecessary stress. Buy tickets via the button below

What to expect on the pitch: scenarios, tempo and moments that break the match

In a cup quarter-final like this, there are most often two main scenarios: one in which the favorite imposes tempo early and builds an advantage, and another in which the underdog withstands the initial pressure and the match becomes a psychological battle of nerves. Leverkusen will likely seek quick ball circulation and situations where wingers or full-backs find the final pass, while St. Pauli will try to stay compact and wait for the moment for a vertical ball or a set piece that can tilt the balance. As the minutes melt away, the importance of every decision will grow, and the cup format can drag the match into extra time, where squad depth and physical preparation gain additional weight. If the score is level late on, every duel in midfield, every goalkeeper save and every long-range shot can become the key story of the night, and then the crowd turns into an active participant. For spectators in the stands, that is exactly why tickets are so sought-after, because the tension is best felt live, in the moment when the stadium holds its breath before a set piece or a penalty kick. In those moments the BayArena can be quiet and loud in the same second, creating an experience that a TV broadcast can hardly convey. If you want to be part of that night, secure your tickets by clicking the

button and experience the quarter-final from the front row of emotion.
