Full-time: Wolfsburg 1-1 St. Pauli

And that's that! Neither side are able to find a way through in the end in what was an even game. Van der Heyden gave the visitors a shock lead in the first half to end St. Pauli's goal drought but Wolfsburg found a way back into the game via an Amoura penalty after 70 minutes. The Algerian then had a huge chance to make it 2-1 but Vasilj made a fabulous save with his head to keep the game level with the game finishing 1-1.

Half-time: Wolfsburg 0-1 St. Pauli

At the break, it is the visitors who hold a shock lead. St. Pauli started the game well and looked the more threatening, only to lose their way as Wolfsburg grew into the game. Then, out of nowhere, Van der Heyden popped up from a corner to give the visitors the lead. The hosts now have it all to do in the second half.

Kick-off just moments away

Both sets of players enter the field and kick-off is now just moments away. Can Wolfsburg strengthen their push for European football or can St. Pauli give their survival hopes a real boost?

Arnold back in the squad

Wolfsburg make three changes from the side that beat Bremen last weekend but perhaps the most exciting news for the club is that Maximilian Arnold is fit enough to make the bench.

Ralph Hasenhüttl on facing St Pauli

"We have found a few approaches that can free us from our negative mindset - it will be all about being patient, bringing some intensity to our matches," said the Wolfsburg boss about last week's DFB Cup loss in Leipzig and the poor home form that is threatening the club's push for Europe. "We still have ten matches. We need to collect points consistently, but never underestimate our opponents."

Alexander Blessin on facing Wolfsburg

"Wolfsburg have lots of quality up front but are also stable at the back. It's hard to score against them. In the first game we got their pace under control well and we aim to do the same again."
