Stadium: Volkswagen Arena (Wolfsburg)
08.03.2025 17:30
VfL Wolfsburg welcomes FC St. Pauli in an intriguing Bundesliga clash where contrasting form and aspirations take centre stage. Wolfsburg, perched comfortably in mid-table, will seek to capitalize on their home advantage to consolidate their position. In stark contrast, FC St. Pauli’s recent struggles have seen them endure a torrid run of form, languishing near the relegation zone.
Both teams have crossed paths six times in recent history, with Wolfsburg holding the upper hand, winning three of those encounters. However, their last two meetings in the Bundesliga ended in stalemates, hinting at a fixture that could be finely poised. With Wolfsburg scoring an average of 1.3 goals per home game compared to St. Pauli’s meagre 0.0 away tally this season, the odds heavily favour the hosts. However, the visitors' fighting spirit cannot be discounted, setting the stage for a potentially captivating contest.

VfL Wolfsburg have exhibited commendable consistency on home soil this season, claiming two wins and one draw from their last three Bundesliga outings. Their attacking arsenal is spearheaded by Mohamed El Amine Amoura, who has netted nine goals and provided eight assists, making him the talisman of the team. Jonas Wind follows closely with eight strikes, while Tiago Tomas adds further firepower with six goals. The Wolves boast an average of 1.3 goals per game at home, underpinned by a 48.1% possession rate. However, injuries to key players such as Maximilian Arnold and Sebastiaan Bornauw pose selection headaches for coach Niko Kovač. Despite these setbacks, their resolute defensive setup and clinical forward line make them a formidable opponent on their own turf.
FC St. Pauli
FC St. Pauli’s maiden Bundesliga campaign has been a baptism of fire, with the Hamburg-based outfit struggling to adapt to the top-flight intensity. The Boys in Brown have endured four consecutive away defeats without scoring a single goal, averaging 0.0 goals per game on the road. Morgan Guilavogui remains their standout performer with five league goals, while Johannes Eggestein has chipped in with three. Captain Jackson Irvine leads the creative department with five assists. Defensive frailties have been their Achilles heel, conceding 1.8 goals per away game. With a depleted squad due to injuries to key players like James Sands and Morgan Guilavogui, St. Pauli face an uphill battle to upset the odds.
