📰 Team News: St. Pauli
Connor Metcalfe (muscular problems), Sascha Burchert (surgery), Elias Saad (Ligament injury), Simon Zoller (muscular problems), Sören Ahlers (Knee surgery) and Ben Voll (Broken jaw) will not be able to play for St. Pauli manager Alexander Blessin.
We think that St. Pauli should go for a 3-4-2-1 system with Nikola Vasilj, Hauke Wahl, Eric Smith, Karol Mets, Manolis Saliakas, Philipp Treu, Jackson Irvine, Robert Wagner, Oladapo Afolayan, Johannes Eggestein and Morgan Guilavogui.

From our viewpoint, Wolfsburg appear most likely to utilise a 3-4-1-2 lineup, going with Kamil Grabara, Denis Vavro, Sebastiaan Bornauw, K. Koulierakis, Ridle Baku, Jakub Kaminski, Salih Oezcan, Yannick Gerhardt, Jonas Wind, Tiago Tomas and Mohamed Amoura.
🔮 Prediction
Our thinking is that VfL Wolfsburg and St. Pauli could well cancel each other out, with goals at a real premium.
Little in this one, and it’s almost too close to call. We’re therefore tipping a very even match with a 0-0 scoreline at full-time.
