Eriksen on Verge of Relegation with Wolfsburg After 0-0 Playoff Draw with Second-Division Paderborn
Christian Eriksen and Wolfsburg are one match from relegation after a scoreless first leg, with Paderborn needing a home win to advance.
- On Thursday, Wolfsburg drew 0-0 with second-division Paderborn in the first leg of their promotion/relegation playoff, leaving the Bundesliga side one game away from potential relegation.
- If Paderborn wins Monday's return leg at home, Wolfsburg—the 2009 Bundesliga champion—would drop a division for the first time since 1997, despite surviving previous playoffs against Eintracht Braunschweig and Holstein Kiel.
- Paderborn goalkeeper Dennis Seimen denied Wolfsburg's Adam Daghim in a one-on-one, while Filip Bilbija had a late effort cleared off the line; defender Jonah Sticker will miss Monday's decisive match after receiving two bookings.
- The playoff pits the Bundesliga's third-from-bottom team against the second division's third-place finisher, with Christian Eriksen, who signed a two-year deal in September, facing potential demotion to Germany's second division.
- Paderborn, located near Dortmund in North Rhine-Westphalia, participates in the playoff for the first time and seeks a Bundesliga return after being relegated in 2020 following one season.
