MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

The visit from Heidenheim will be the Paderborn′s second game at home after coming from behind to beat Sandhausen 2-1 on Saturday. Dennis Srbeny′s goal helped get the hosts level for halftime after falling behind early. Then Christopher Antwi-Adjei scored the goal in the 74th minute to seal all three points for Steffen Baumgart′s charges. Heidenheim won 2-1 at Osnabruck for their first win in five away games. Tim Kleindienst scored to give the visitors a lead just before halftime. Oliver Husing′s first goal of the season came shortly after the resumption of play, giving Frank Schmidt′s side the cushion needed to get all three points, despite conceding a late goal. Paderborn is unbeaten in their last five at home and have lost just one of their last seven league games. The return of Kleindienst has given Heidenheim’s attack a needed boost, as proven by the fact he′s the team′s second-leading scorer despite having played in just three games. With Paderborn staying home while Heidenheim makes two trips in such a short amount of time, expect the hosts to have a slight edge here.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

Neither club could find a goal when Paderborn visited Heidenheim earlier in the season, splitting points from a 0-0 draw. In five all-time meetings between the clubs, Paderborn remains unbeaten, having won twice.
