Some very even games between these 2 sides with them both taking a win and 3 draws in the last 5 matches.

Not the strongest from for Wolfsburg having won 2 matches lost 2 matches and drawn 1. However, they have had some confidence in the last 3 matches with 2 wins and a very close draw. They have managed to find their scoring boots in the last 3 matches having scored 3 in all 3 of those games and with 2 of them being at home, they will have some confidence that they can keep this scoring going. However, their defence has also struggled a bit having failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 5 matches. Therefore, if they want to have a good chance at winning and getting the 3 points, they will need to focus on keeping that scoring record going into this match.

For a team that sits third from bottom in the league this form is perfect for them, not seeing a loss in the last 5 matches will give them the perfect boost in confidence that they will need to go into this game. They have been defensively strong only conceding 3 goals in the last 5 games including 2 clean sheets. The main worry for them comes from their attack as they have seen 2 games where they have failed to score and only managed to score 5 goals in the last 5 matches. If they want to win this game and push up the table, they will need to focus on their attack and hope that they can finish more chances when they are given them.

Key Players to Watch: Wolfsburg vs St. Pauli

Patrick Wimmer (Wolfsburg): The winger has been one of Wolfsburg best attackers this season with 6 goal contributions in 12 matches so far this season. He has been clinical in both of his sides finishing and creating as he has massively outperformed both his xG and xA. While he hasn’t crated many chances, the ones he has made have often ended up being finished off and the same can be said with his shot conversion so far this season. He will be the man they look for to convert chances and create chances.

Joel Chima Fujita (St. Pauli): The midfielder has been the creative spark this season for St. Pauli having provided 3 assists so far and made 20 chances. He will be the man looking to apply that lethal pass to cause issues for Wolfsburg defence in this game and will most likely make 2 good chances. The main issue will come from the forwards who have struggled to finish the chances made this season, if they do, expect St. Pauli to have a good chances walking away with all 3 points.
