Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Sunday’s football game at Hardtwaldstadion pits together Sandhausen and Paderborn, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Sandhausen desperately needed a win against Magdeburg, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game losing run. A man to watch in the home team will be Dario Dumic, who scored a brace at the weekend, whereas Merveille Papela is banned for the match. All Marcel Mehlem, Dennis Diekmeier, Erik Zenga, and Raphael Framberger are out of contention through injuries.
Paderborn, on the other hand, aim to keep their promotion hopes alive. Considering that the visitors will go for a victory in Sunday’s encounter as well, we are going to bet on both teams to score. All Jasper van der Werff, Sebastian Klaas, Tobias Muller, Marvin Peringer miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Paderborn):
Welcoming their rivals at Benteler-Arena, Paderborn are a German club that will compete in the Bundesliga in the 2019/2020 season. The club played their first ever match in the German top flight on August 24, 2019, with the team sharing the spoils with Mainz (2-2) in front of home fans.
Benteler-Arena can hold up to 15,000 spectators and it was opened on July 20, 2008. Paderborn play their home matches in blue and black shirts and black shirts, but white is the dominant colour of their away kit. Until the 1980s TuS Scholls Neuhaus were considered the club’s main rivals are Arminia Bielefeld, with the two teams facing each other in Ostwestfalenderby.
This rivalry was established in the 2008/2009 season when Arminia Bielefeld dropped to the 2. Bundesliga. It has to be noted that Paderborn have yet to represent Germany in European competitions.
