Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Following a 1-1 draw with Greuther Furth, Paderborn will look to return to winning ways in 2. Bundesliga when they take on Ulm on Sunday afternoon. Paderborn made a promising start to the season and a triumph over Ulm will see them retain top position in the standings. Midfielder Mattes Hansen remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The newcomers, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their three-game losing run, but given their difficulties up front, home win should be considered. Goalkeeper Niclas Thiede misses out with injury for the visiting side, while both Maier and Krattenmacher are out of contention with injuries. Felix Higl, who has already netted two goals in the new 2. Bundesliga campaign, is widely expected to lead the line for 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.
