Paderborn form and stats
Paderborn have been outstanding at home so far in the 2. Bundesliga with 6 wins, 0 draws and only 1 loss.

The home team returns to Benteler-Arena after drawing with Eintracht Braunschweig (placed 11th) on their last time out; the game ended 0-0. Hoffmeier was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.85 out of 10. The defender Hoffmeier hit one key pass and won 6 of 6 duels.
A 2-2 result against Werder Bremen (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) before that, played at their own home stadium in the DFB Pokal. This is expected to be a close game, with Paderborn perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Paderborn as a small favourite), we find 12 games. Paderborn has won 2 of these, drawn 4 and lost 6.
Goal fest? Nobody knows the future, but we do know that 10 of the 13 most recent league games with this team has had three goals or more.
Paderborn always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Benteler-Arena with 24 goals in 7 league games. Paderborn have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Hamburger SV form and stats
Hamburger SV have been very strong on the road so far with a massive 15 points collected from 6 2. Bundesliga games. 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat is the record so far.

Midfielder Reis was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.04. Reis served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 4 of 5 times and had 54 successful passes (of 60 total).
A loss, in the DFB Pokal away at RB Leipzig, before that. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hamburger playing away and similar expectations, we found 5 relevant matches. Results were 3 Hamburger SV wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats.
