Confirmed lineups: 1. FC Nürnberg vs. VfL Wolfsburg

1. FC Nürnberg (5-1-0, 2nd) take on VfL Wolfsburg (3-2-1, 4th) in the seventh matchweek of the 2026/27 2. Bundesliga season at Max-Morlock-Stadion, with the opening kick on Saturday at 20.30 (CET).

Miroslav Klose's Nürnberg are one of only two undefeated teams in the German second division, with the other being Hertha BSC. A victory would put them seven or eight points clear of fourth in the table, dependant on Hertha's result against SpVgg Greuther Fürth on Sunday. On the other hand, a victory for Tobias Strobl's Wolfsburg would narrow that gap to just two points, potentially with an opportunity to move up to third in the table after 1. FC Heidenheim 1846 and 1. FC Kaiserslautern managed a 0-0 draw on Friday.

As Wolfsburg were in the top division from 1997/98 to 2025/26, and Nürnberg have not seen top-level football since 2018/19, the last time that the two teams met was in the 2018/19 season - with Wolfsburg winning both the home and away matches by 2-0 results. The last time that Nürnberg managed a point against Wolfsburg was in 2013/14 (a 1-1 draw), and the last time Nürnberg won was in 2012/13 (a 1-0 result).

Here are the confirmed lineups for both sides ahead of tonight's primetime match. If you are watching the match from Germany, it is being nationally broadcast on RTL and RTL+.
