Wolfsburg vs St. Pauli prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2026-01-13 17:30.
[p]Wolfsburg are looking to restore pride after an embarrassing weekend defeat, while St Pauli are finally in action after a long lay-off and looking to climb out of the bottom three. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Daniel Bauer has endured a nightmare start to his Wolfsburg tenure since being appointed permanent boss last month, losing both games while conceding 12 goals in total, 75% of which came in an 8-1 mauling at Bayern on Sunday. The Wolves have conceded a pre-round joint-league high 36 goals overall, and with just three points separating them from the drop zone, it’s a problem that could prove fatal to their top-flight survival. Also undermining Wolfsburg is their dreadful form at the Volkswagen Arena, as they’ve won just one of their last 16 Bundesliga home games (D7, L8).[/p]
[p]St Pauli can move level on points with their hosts should they win here, but there’ll be some rust to shake off after their weekend clash against Leipzig was postponed due to bad weather. It’s been over three weeks since Alexander Blessin’s side were last in action, when a 0-0 draw with Mainz stretched their unbeaten run to four matches across all competitions (W2, D2). That’s their joint-longest such run since returning to the top-flight in 2024, and with three of those fixtures coming on the road (W1, D2), they’ve every reason to be confident against vulnerable opposition here.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
