Paderborn form and stats
1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the 2. Bundesliga numbers at home for Paderborn so far this season. When Paderborn hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Eintracht Braunschweig, Paderborn, Hertha BSC, Osnabruck and Wehen Wiesbaden), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
Paderborn travelled for their previous game, a trip to Magdeburg that ended 1-1. Midfielder Muslija was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.32 (out of ten) in that game. Muslija hit six key passes.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting Wehen Wiesbaden in a game that was won 2-1.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.

Schalke 04 form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their 2. Bundesliga travels is 0 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Schalke, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus St. Pauli (placed 2nd). Polter has found the net for the visitors three fixtures in a row. The smartness! Baumgartl was the top performer of the team in that game with a match score of 7.31. The defender Baumgartl won 5 of 7 duels.
That result followed a home victory 4-3 versus Magdeburg.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 5 similar matches played by Schalke 04 in our archives, and the results are: 3 wins for Schalke 04, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
Schalke 04 have scored 5 goals on their travels this season, from 4 away games in the league. The Schalke 04 manager Kreutzer has some worries about the defense as 10 goals have been conceded in these travels.
