St. Pauli have won 0, drawn 1 and lost 4 of their last 5 matches. Their most recent result was a 2-1 loss to RB Leipzig. That is a concerning run that puts real pressure on the squad ahead of this match.
VfL Wolfsburg have picked up 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats in their last 5 outings. They come into this off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Bayern Munich. Away form has been inconsistent, and getting a result here will be a test of their character.
Both sides have been producing comparable results over their recent matches, which suggests this could be a tight and competitive affair with little separating the two teams.
