Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
All eyes will be on RheinEnergieStadion when Koln and Paderborn go head to head in the 2. Bundesliga derby. The Billy Goats aim to recover from a massive 5-1 loss to Darmstadt and you should know that they are eyeing their third home win of the process. Jacob Christensen and Luca Kilian should be the only absentees in the home team, while the opposition back-line should have Luca Waldschmidt at bay.
Lukas Kwasniok’s troops, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss at Kaiserslautern. As Paderborn will go for a victory in Friday’s showdown as well, we are tempted to place our bets on over 2.5 goals. Koln, though, should emerge triumphant in this match as Paderborn are on a four-game winless run on the road. Laurin Curda is banned for the visitors, adding to their woes, while all Sebastian Klaas, Felix Platte, Visar Musliu, Arne Schulz, and Mattes Hansen remain in the recovery room.
