MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: HOME WIN

 

Paderborn took a 1-0 loss in their visit to Jahn Regensburg, in what was their third game in eight days. Steffen Baumgart´s side was dominant against their hosts, outshooting them 17-4 on the night, but conceded the only goal of the evening and had to close their busy week with a loss. Paderborn heads home where they are unbeaten in their last six.

 

Darmstadt’s difficulties continued in the form of a 1-0 loss to visiting Karlsruher. The story was again Darmstadt’s inability to convert quality chances to take the lead as multiple players had opportunities to collect the 1-0 for the home side in the first half. A sluggish start to the second half led to a goal for the visitors and then the club’s third loss in their last four games. Markus Anfang’s club remains 14th in the league table.

 

Paderborn are unbeaten in their last six at home, winning three and drawing three. Darmstadt have taken just a single point from their last four league games on the road. Neither club is playing particularly well of late, but Paderborn should have enough to get a home win here.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

Paderborn has outscored Darmstadt 10-3 in the three games they’ve played in 2. Bundesliga competition with two wins and a loss. Earlier this season, Paderborn won 4-0 in Darmstadt.
