Darmstadt host Paderborn on the final day of the season with contrasting stakes, as the hosts look to end an eight-game winless run after missing out on the promotion playoffs. As Paderborn want this triumph more than Darmstadt, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Lilywhites average 1.00 points per game over their last 10 matches, scoring 1.60 goals per game but conceding 1.70. Their home form is stronger at 1.60 PPG with 2.00 goals scored per match, but defensive issues remain, especially with Patric Pfeiffer a likely absentee. BTTS has landed in 80% of their games, reflecting their consistently open style.
Paderborn head into the decided in far better shape with 1.60 points per game across their last 10 and a strong promotion push still alive. The visitors score 1.90 goals per match and are unbeaten in terms of scoring across their recent run (0% failed to score), while also producing 90% BTTS games. Away form is steady (1.60 PPG), and although midfielder Santiago Castaneda is doubtful, their attacking output remains their biggest weapon.
Given Paderborn's stronger form and promotion motivation, our main prediction firmly points toward Away Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (two attacking sides with fragile defenses and high-scoring trends).
This Bundesliga 2 match will be played on Sunday 17 May 2026 at 14:30.
