It's advantage Greuther Fürth so far with their 4th position in the 2. Bundesliga table, welcoming Paderborn who are placed 11th.
- Greuther Fürth has the most scored goals in the first half (18) in 2. Bundesliga
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Greuther Fürth form and stats
3 victories, 1 draw and 3 defeats. That’s what Greuther Fürth have to build on here at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer in the 2. Bundesliga.
No payout for Greuther in their previous match, an away game at Karlsruher SC that ended in defeat 2-3. Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against St. Pauli.
The penalty miss from Paul Seguin in the defeat against Karlsruher SC was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Greuther have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost four.
Greuther are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 7 games. On the other hand, Greuther have conceded 10 goals.
Paderborn form and stats
There's been little loot from Paderborn's travels as they have only collected 8 points from 8 away games in the 2. Bundesliga. Paderborn only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
Paderborn go into this game after a win, the home game against Erzgebirge Aue that ended 2-1. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Fortuna Dusseldorf's place.
The 2-1 victory against Erzgebirge Aue could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times.
Paderborn are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, two draws and one defeat. From a total of four matches.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Paderborn as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. 8 goals have been conceded by Paderborn in these games.
Head 2 Head
H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Greuther Fürth five wins, three draws and Paderborn two victories. As for goals, eight matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
