A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The RB Leipzig fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Paderborn's 18th place in the table will show on the pitch.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
The season is still full of potential for Leipzig as they can still win the whole Bundesliga. Paderborn are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.
