Sitemap incorrect for blog pages

When I create a blog page, there seems to be a problem for the sitemap.xml, as a recent SEMrush analysis pointed out to me.
My website has several pages, two of which are blogs:

https://www.crimsoncorporation.de/wettblog.html

https://www.crimsoncorporation.de/politikwetten.html


When you enter these URLs, you get redirected to a URL that leaves out the .html suffix. The sitemap.xml however contains only the .html URLs.

Both the temporary redirects and especially the incorrect pages are a problem in SEO terms. How do I fix this?

Does SEMrush say that the redirects are 302 redirects or 301?

SEMrush tells me this for both .html pages: "This page returns a temporary redirect status"

It also tells me in the infobox:

From that I conclude that it's *not* a 301 redirect, but one of the others (so most likely 302?).
In both cases the redirect leads to the URL without the.html suffix.

Ok, that makes sense (I can't see why they would refer to them as temporary unless they actually were 302 "temporary" redirects). Since everything is working correctly, but not optimally from an SEO perspective I would post this to our Vote on Features board.

Thanks Adam.

I also researched some other SEO issues via google and kept returning here to find a host of issues that haven't been resolved for years (but found my questions answered, AMP being a good example).

I'm afraid I'll have to migrate to Wordpress sooner or later (and probably sooner at that), as Weebly seems rather unresponsive when it comes to SEO problems.

I can appreciate your position, @crimsoncorporat. Weighing the actual, tangible impact of SEO issues is really difficult, so it's hard to know the real-world impact of something like this.
