Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following a thrilling 3-3 draw with Schalke, Paderborn will be aiming to return to winning ways in the 2. Bundesliga when they take on Eintracht Braunschweig on Friday. Paderborn are only two points behind top three and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-oriented approach against die Lowen. Martin Ens is banned for the match, while all Calvin Brackelmann, Marco Schuster, Felix Platte, and Kimberly Ezekwem are out of contention with injuries.
Braunschweig, on the other hand, are sitting in the relegation zone and given their poor performances in back-to-back defeats to Nurnberg and Hansa Rostock, we predict that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Jan-Hendrix Marx and Saulo Decarli are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while USA forward Johan Gomez is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
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.
