Prediction: 2-1
Darmstadt
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Hertha Berlin, Paderborn will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Darmstadt on Sunday. Paderborn showcased their worth in the season opener, but they surely do not want to stop. Barring any fresh injury worries, boss Lukas Kwasniok is unlikely to make changes to the team that won the Olympiastadion clash.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, produced an under-par performance in a 2-0 loss to Fortuna Dusseldorf. Considering that Paderborn are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Othmane El Idrissi is banned for the match, while both Alexander Brunst and Fabian Holland are sidelined with injuries, speaking of the visiting team. Braydon Manu is a major doubt and the 27-year-old forward will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
