Confirmed lineups: FC St. Pauli vs. VfL Wolfsburg | OneFootball

FC St. Pauli (6-8-19, 18th) host VfL Wolfsburg (6-8-19, 16th) at Millerntor-Stadion in Hamburg, in the thirty-fourth and final matchweek of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season.

The two sides are both involved in a battle for sixteenth place and the lone relegation playoff spot. 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 is also involved, as all three teams are tied on 26 points going into the final day. VfL Wolfsburg have a -26 goal difference (42-68), while 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 (41-70) and FC St. Pauli (28-57) are both on -29 goal differences.

If FC St. Pauli win, they need to hope that Heidenheim draw or lose their match with 1. FSV Mainz 05, which kicks off at the exact same time. If Heidenheim defeat Mainz, then St. Pauli must hope that the Heidenheim win is not by an equal or greater margin than what they won by.

A draw means that VfL Wolfsburg qualify for the relegation playoff, unless Heidenheim defeat Mainz - in which Heidenheim would overtake Wolfsburg and both sides at Millerntor would get relegated.

A VfL Wolfsburg win means almost certain qualification for the relegation playoff, since they have a three-goal advantage when it comes to goal differential going in. However, if Heidenheim win by a greater margin of three goals or more than what Wolfsburg won by (for example, Wolfsburg win 1-0 and Heidenheim win 4-0), then Heidenheim qualifies on goals scored and Wolfsburg would be relegated.

Here are the confirmed lineups for this key relegation matchup.
