Season ticket holders at Benteler-Arena haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Paderborn languishing in the 18th position so far. The guesting Köln will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
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.
Paderborn form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Paderborn have only managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses from their games here at Benteler-Arena. With Paderborn having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager S. Baumgart. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Paderborn to get some points in this home game.
Paderborn lost their last game at Mainz 05 (placed 15th) after a 0-2 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 2-3 away at Bayern München.
Paderborn are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. Paderborn are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (29 from 12 played).
Köln form and stats
