The visiting RB Leipzig side should be favourites in this visit to Paderborn, as the away team holds a 22 point advantage from their 13 league games this season.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Paderborn form and stats
Paderborn's results here at Benteler-Arena in the Bundesliga have been very modest with 1 victory, 0 draws and 6 defeats. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Paderborn, their manager S. Baumgart and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
The Paderborn fans got no joy from their last match, a Bundesliga game also here at Benteler-Arena: A 2-3 defeat against RB Leipzig (placed 1st). 3-3 away at Borussia Dortmund before that.
The Paderborn fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. Paderborn are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (17 from 7 played).
RB Leipzig form and stats
RB Leipzig's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed RB Leipzig, who have the most scored goals (36) in Bundesliga, collect 16 points from their 7 away matches in the Bundesliga. 5 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat). The fact that RB Leipzig have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting. RB Leipzig love their trips these days, as their two previous away games have resulted in victories.
Two travels in a row for RB Leipzig, whose manager J. Nagelsmann could celebrate last time after the Bundesliga win against Paderborn. Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Benfica in the Champions League.
RB Leipzig are a potent attacking force on the road with their 19 goals in 7 league games. As opposed to that, RB Leipzig have seen the ball go into their own net 8 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
The dueling parties have met before this season: Paderborn - RB Leipzig 2-3. Paderborn-RB Leipzig H2H statistics last four meetings regardless of arena: Paderborn 0 wins, RB Leipzig 4 wins, 0 draws. 2 of these four matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).Top Goalscorers
