Bundesliga season, three teams sit on exactly 26 points: Wolfsburg, Heidenheim, and St Pauli. Goal differential puts Wolfsburg in 16th place and goals scored puts Heidenheim in 17th ahead of St. Pauli. Relegation from the Bundesliga is a bit different than what you might be used to if you follow English football leagues. In the Bundesliga, the 16th place team plays a relegation playoff against the 3rd place finisher from the Bundesliga 2. The 17th and 18th placed teams are directly relegated to the second division.
