Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Paderborn and Hertha Berlin square off against each other at Home Deluxe Arena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting game of the 2. Bundesliga round 28. Paderborn failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Eintracht Braunschweig and St. Pauli, but they are still seen as slim favourites to beat the capital club in front of home fans. Experienced forward Adriano Grimaldi serves a one-game ban, while all Laurin Curda, Marco Schuster, and Felix Platte should miss out with injuries.
Hertha Berlin, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team suffering a 5-2 loss to Schalke, while playing out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Nurnberg. Given Hertha’s attacking potential, we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. As for the away team, Marten Winkler misses out through suspension, while all Smail Prevljak, Gustav Christensen, Peter Pekarik, and Tjark Ernst are sidelined with injuries.
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.
