With survival on the line and just one match left to play, VfL Wolfsburg are heading to Hamburg with one clear goal in mind: victory.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, head coach Dieter Hecking made no secret of his team's intentions ahead of their crucial Bundesliga clash against St. Pauli this Saturday. "We're heading to Hamburg to win the game – anything else shouldn't concern us," Hecking stated firmly, as the tension mounts on the final matchday of the season.

The stakes couldn't be higher. Wolfsburg, St. Pauli, and Heidenheim are locked in a three-way tie on 26 points, all fighting to avoid the drop. With the relegation zone looming, only 16th place – the spot that grants a spot in the relegation/promotion play-offs – offers a lifeline. Currently, Wolfsburg hold that precarious position, but nothing is guaranteed.

"In the end, we have it in our own hands to secure 16th place with a good result. That's the task we have to tackle. We need to do our work," Hecking added, emphasizing the focus and determination required in this high-pressure showdown.

Unfortunately, Wolfsburg will be without forward Patrick Wimmer, who is sidelined with muscular issues. Hecking expressed hope that Wimmer could return for a potential play-off match, should the team secure that vital spot.

As the Bundesliga season reaches its dramatic conclusion, all eyes will be on Hamburg this Saturday. For Wolfsburg, it's simple: win and keep the dream alive.
