Union Berlin are welcoming Paderborn for another important game after their 2-1 result against 12th-placed Köln.
It's no vacation for neither Berlin nor Paderborn as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Paderborn are struggling to avoid relegation.
Union Berlin form and stats
The story so far in the Bundesliga for Union Berlin at their home stadium (Stadion An der Alten Försterei) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats. Two draws in a row at home now for Berlin.
A good away victory last time out for Union Berlin, who won 2-1 against Köln (placed 12th). Before that, Union Berlin drew at home versus Schalke 04.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Berlin's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won two matches, drawn zero and lost zero.
Berlin are traveling soon after this match as the Bundesliga match at Hoffenheim awaits in four days.
Berlin are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 15 games. On the other hand, Berlin have conceded 20 goals.
Paderborn form and stats
There's been little loot from Paderborn's travels as they have only collected 12 points from 15 away games in the Bundesliga. Paderborn, who have the most conceded goals (67) in Bundesliga, only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 6 draws. Paderborn are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the Freiburg fixture. One point away has become something of a habit for Paderborn who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Paderborn failed to get anything from their last game, a Bundesliga home match vs Werder Bremen (placed 17th) that ended with defeat 1-5. Before that, Paderborn travelled to RB Leipzig and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.
Paderborn lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Paderborn when being an outsider away as they are today, we find four matches with the visitors losing three times, drawing zero and winning one game.
After this away game Paderborn return home for a Bundesliga game against Borussia M'gladbach. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The attacking power of Paderborn when travelling is not overwhelming with 14 goals scored from 15 league matches away. Paderborn struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 24 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Paderborn - Berlin 1-1 played earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: two - four - four (Union Berlin wins - draws - Paderborn wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
