Confirmed lineups: SC Paderborn 07 vs. VfL Wolfsburg

SC Paderborn 07 (18-8-8, 3rd 2. Bundesliga) play host to VfL Wolfsburg (7-8-19, 16th Bundesliga) at Home Deluxe Arena in Paderborn, Nordrhein-Westfalen, in the second leg of the promotion-relegation playoff. The winning team will play in the Bundesliga for the 2026/27 season, while the losing side will be playing in 2. Bundesliga when the new campaign begins in August.

VfL Wolfsburg have never been relegated to 2. Bundesliga in their history, promoting to the top-tier for the first time in the 1997/98 season and staying there since. SC Paderborn 07 have promoted twice to the Bundesliga, in 2014/15 and 2020/21, but both ended in last-place finishes and relegations back to the second division.

The two sides played to a scoreless draw in the first leg at Volkswagen Arena this past Thursday. Wolfsburg outshot Paderborn 17-2, 6-1 on target while holding 63% possession. If this match also ends in a draw, it will go to an extra half-hour, with penalties needed if the score remains level through 120 minutes of play.

Here are the confirmed lineups for the final match of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season.
