SC Paderborn vs. VfL Wolfsburg Live on Free-to-Air TV Today: Who is Broadcasting the Relegation Second Leg on TV and Livestream? The Last Five Years of Relegation
Paderborn enters the second leg with a good starting position after the 0-0 draw in the first leg, playing in front of their home crowd. However, a look at the recent history of the relegation ties offers little hope for SCP to make it to the Bundesliga.
In the last five years, the second-division team has always failed in the relegation. In 2021, Holstein Kiel hoped for a coup after a 1-0 away win against 1. FC Köln, but then lost the home second leg 1-5. A year later, it was similar: Hamburger SV won the first leg against Hertha BSC 1-0, but the Berliners turned the tables in the second leg and won 2-0.
In 2023, it was a rather clear affair for VfB Stuttgart against HSV, before in 2024, Fortuna Düsseldorf had high hopes again after the first leg. The Fortunen had won 3-0 at VfL Bochum but squandered the lead in the second leg and ultimately lost on penalties. It was almost as dramatic last year when everything seemed headed for extra time between SV Elversberg and 1. FC Heidenheim, before Leo Scienza scored the decisive 2-1 for the first-division team at the last second.
| Year | Fixture | First Leg | Second Leg | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 1. FC Köln vs. Holstein Kiel | 0:1 | 5:1 | Köln |
| 2022 | Hertha BSC vs. Hamburger SV | 0:1 | 2:0 | Hertha |
| 2023 | VfB Stuttgart vs. Hamburger SV | 3:0 | 3:1 | VfB |
| 2024 | VfL Bochum vs. Fortuna Düsseldorf | 0:3 | 6:5 p.e. | Bochum |
| 2025 | 1. FC Heidenheim vs. SV Elversberg | 2:2 | 2:1 | Heidenheim |
