A place in the Bundesliga will be at stake when Paderborn and Wolfsburg face each other in the return leg of the relegation playoffs. As Wolfsburg are a more experienced side than Paderborn, we predict a 2-1 away win. Paderborn have been entertaining to watch at home lately, with their recent home matches averaging an impressive 4.75 goals per game. However, defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern, especially against a Wolfsburg side desperate to avoid relegation. The 2. Bundesliga side defended bravely in that clash, although the hosts now face a major setback as important defender Jonah Sticker is suspended for the return leg.
Wolfsburg were the more dangerous side in the first leg (0-0) with 17 goal attempts and will surely feel they missed a big opportunity to take an advantage into the decider. The Wolves head into the clash without fresh injury worries, while Mohamed Amoura is pushing for a place in the starting XI after an encouraging display off the bench. Given Wolfsburg’s superior quality and the likelihood of a more open game after the cagey first leg, the Bundesliga side look capable of edging this contest.
Wolfsburg created far more chances in the first leg and possess greater top-flight experience. Therefore, Away Win should be considered, alongside Over 4.5 yellow cards and Over 2.5 goals (Paderborn’s recent home games have been full of action and goals).
This Bundesliga match will be played on Monday 25 May 2026 at 19:30.
