St. Pauli vs Wolfsburg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 26th 2024
The action continues in round eight of the German Bundesliga as St. Pauli and Wolfsburg lock horns at the Millerntor-Stadion on Saturday. Alexander Blessin’s men have failed to win their three home games this season and will head into the weekend looking to end this dry spell.
St. Pauli failed to arrest their poor early-season form as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park last weekend. Blessin’s side have now lost three games on the bounce, conceding eight goals and scoring three since claiming a 3-0 victory over Freiburg on September 28.
St. Pauli have managed just one win from their seven Bundesliga games so far while losing five and claiming one draw to collect four points and sit 18th in the table, only above Bochum and Holstein Kiel.
Wolfsburg, on the other hand, were sent back down to earth in their push into the top half of the table as they fell to a 4-2 defeat against Werder Bremen at the Volkswagen Arena last time out.
This followed a 3-1 victory over Bochum at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion just before the international break, a result which saw their three-game winless run in the league come to an end.
With seven points from seven matches, Wolfsburg are currently 13th in the Bundesliga standings, level on points with Hoffenheim and Augsburg, but could move into ninth place with all three points this weekend.
