Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Wehen, Paderborn will look to move closer to the automatic promotion berth when they take on Magdeburg on Matchday 24. Paderborn are eager to stay in the race for a top-three finish and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s encounter. All Sirlord Conteh, Marco Schuster, Felix Platte, and Kimberly Ezekwem are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Magdeburg, on the other hand, are not regarded as good travellers, with the team already conceded six defeats on the road. As Christian Titz’s troops were beaten by Eintracht Braunschweig and Hertha Berlin in the previous two away games, we are tempted to put our money on the home side. Herbert Bockhorn is sidelined through illness, while all Jonas Fabisch, Bryan Teixeira, and Julian Pollersbeck remain on the sidelines with injuries, speaking of the visiting 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.
