Wolfsburg Preview: Moving on up
Wolfsburg have advanced into seventh-place ahead of this latest round of Bundesliga fixtures following their current run of form which has seen them not lose any of their most recent six league matches.
Even more positive, is the fact that Wolfsburg have taken seven points from the last nine available to them. Leaving the Champions League places now within reach for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side.
St. Pauli Preview: Bottom three lingering
St. Pauli are now sitting just four points adrift of the bottom three following an awful run of four straight defeats, although Bochum also losing last weekend worked in their favour. Arresting this recent slump is not of paramount importance.
The visitors remain the lowest scorers in the Bundesliga currently, finding the net just 18 times over the course of 24 fixtures. Hardly the most entertaining stuff for St. Pauli supporters as their side fight for their top flight status.

Wolfsburg vs St. Pauli Prediction
Two clubs at the opposite end of the form spectrum collide with Wolfsburg in an ideal position to take advantage of St. Pauli’s recent woes. The hosts have looked good over the past few weeks and are a stronger side on paper than the reigning 2. Bundesliga champions. Confidence has clearly been knocked amid the St. Pauli dressing room and the sensible move here would be backing Wolfsburg to come out on top.
