Wolfsburg team overview
The 2025/26 season could be the worst in the 21st century for Wolfsburg. They are unexpectedly only three points above the relegation zone and have to do much better in the coming months. Wolfsburg are in terrible form with only two victories in the last nine matches in all competitions. Last weekend, they lost 8-1 on the road against Bayern Munich. Wolfsburg hit a new low last weekend when they were thrashed 8–1 away by Bayern Munich, a humiliating result that stands as the heaviest defeat in the club's history.
Wolfsburg were terrible against Bayern Munich, but the head coach, Daniel Bauer, still saw some positives. He said, "The bottom line is it's a very, very disappointing and very, very painful defeat. We need to apologise to our fans for the second half, who made too much effort to come and support us in this weather. We had two different halves. I think in the first we showed what we intended to do. We showed a lot of how we want to play. We were brave and implemented our game plan almost 100 percent."
Bence Dardai, Joakim Maehle, Rogerio, Jenson Seelt, and Jonas Wind are injured and will not play on Wednesday against St. Pauli. Also, Marius Muller is questionable.

St. Pauli team overview
After successfully avoiding relegation last season, St. Pauli have set the same objective for the current campaign. Almost halfway through the season, Alexander Blessin's side sit in the relegation playoff spot and will have a stressful next few months. St. Pauli were excellent lately with a four-game unbeaten run. St. Pauli were scheduled to play their first game after the winter break at home against RB Leipzig last weekend, but heavy snowfall postponed the match.
St. Pauli are the worst attacking team in the Bundesliga, and it is clear that they need reinforcements in that department. According to German media, Blessin's side could sign Morgan Guilavogui from Lens. Ex St. Pauli player scored only one goal in Ligue 1 this season, but could be a solid option for a struggling team from Hamburg.
St. Pauli have almost a full squad. The only ones unavailable for the trip to Wolfsburg are David Nemeth and Andreas Hountondji.
