Young Wolves rely on victory against Erfurt: PSG of the U19s on hold!

On Saturday, October 23, 2025, the U19 Young Wolves of VfL Wolfsburg will host FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt in the AOK Stadium at 1 p.m. Head coach Daniel Bauer is optimistic about this game and wants to extend his team's perfect series after the Young Wolves are unbeaten so far this season. With 21 points from seven games and an impressive goal difference of 27:5, they have moved to the top of their group. Leipzig and Rostock are not far behind with 18 points each, with Rostock having played one game more. This was reported by VfL Wolfsburg.

The long break since the last competitive game, which was caused by a test match that was canceled at short notice, has been good for the team. Many players were either at international matches or in action in the professional team's friendly against Hertha BSC. Bauer is confident that the time for regeneration has strengthened the boys both physically and mentally. “We have developed well in the last two months,” said Bauer. In order to win the championship in the preliminary round, concentration must be kept high.

Red and white Erfurt's form

Today's opponent, FC Rot-Weiß Erfurt, has not been able to gain a single point in the last six games and therefore has no chance of advancing. The season started promisingly for Erfurt with a 1-0 win against FC Carl Zeiss Jena, followed by six defeats. What is surprising is that they were in the lead in the last game against Hansa Rostock, but still lost the game. The pressure on Erfurt is enormous and it remains to be seen whether they can hold their own against the strong Wolfsburg team.

The challenges in the game

In the first meeting between the two teams, Erfurt even led 2-0 before Wolfsburg won the game 3-2. Bauer emphasizes that despite the challenges, the Young Wolves have to remain focused in order to be successful again and consolidate their lead in the table. The goal is clear: to defend the top position in the group and prepare for future challenges.

The DFB's U19 juniors, which also include many players from the Wolfsburg Young Wolves, have distinguished themselves with their performances in the past and even won titles, including becoming European champions in 2008 and 2014. The current team has the potential to follow in these footsteps and shine through consistent performances as documented on Wikipedia.

The entire team is looking forward to the upcoming game with great anticipation. With the necessary concentration and the absolute will to keep the points in Wolfsburg, this could be another step towards winning the group. Let's support the young wolves on their way to new successes!
