Paderborn form and stats
Paderborn's struggle is real here at Benteler-Arena with only 13 points collected from 15 2. Bundesliga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-7-6. With eight home 2. Bundesliga games in a row without a win, the Paderborn fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Ingolstadt game long ago, can be stopped today.
Paderborn enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Ingolstadt's place. The match ended 1-0 with Muslija scoring. Midfielder Klement was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.82 (out of ten) in that game. Klement hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 53 successful passes (of 62 total).
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Karlsruher SC that ended 2-2.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Paderborn have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found ten matches with the results: Won one, drawn three and lost six.
