Paderborn form and stats

Things could have gone better for Paderborn in their 2. Bundesliga away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

Muslija, Justvan, Srbeny, Obermair, Pieringer and Platte (2) scored in Paderborn's previous match, the home game against Holstein Kiel that ended 7-2. As you can tell from the results above, Paderborn was very dominant against Holstein Kiel, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 7-2 (!) with Muslija, Justvan, Srbeny, Obermair, Pieringer and Platte (2) providing the goals. Platte has scored at least one goal for this side three games in a row. The talent! Midfield player Obermair was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.62/10. Obermair scored one goal, signed up for two assists and hit two key passes.
