Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Paderborn will be aiming to overtake Hannover in top position when they take on Nurnberg in the 2. Bundesliga round 13. Lukas Kwasniok’s men are a real force to be reckoned with at home and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Friday’s clash. Midfielder Marcel Hoffmeier has yet to serve his ban, while all Sebastian Klaas, Felix Platte, Visar Musliu, and Mattes Hansen miss out with injuries.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, are only three points behind the playoffs berth. As Nurnberg are undefeated in the previous give 2. Bundesliga games, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils at Home Deluxe Arena. The likes of Jens Castrop (illness), Dustin Forkel (knee injury), and Tim Handwerker (ACL injury) are out of contention for the visiting team. Miroslav Klose is likely to stick to the 3-5-2 formation.
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.
