As both Paderborn and Fortuna Dusseldorf will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday's clash, we predict a high-scoring 2-2 draw. Fortuna Dusseldorf must cope without key defender Elias Egouli, whose red card against Hannover leaves a sizeable gap at the back for a side already struggling defensively — just 1 clean sheet in their last 10 and 1.40 goals conceded per match overall. Fortuna are far stronger at home (1.67 PPG), but they still concede regularly and have failed to score in 17% of their home games.
Paderborn head into the match with momentum after a 2–1 win over Preussen Munster, boosted by Steffen Tigges, who scored twice off the bench and is set to return to the starting XI. Their overall form (1.60 PPG) is significantly better than Fortuna's, and their attacking numbers stand out: 1.60 goals scored per match, backed by 1.83 xG, one of the best profiles in mid-table. Away from home, Paderborn are very competitive (1.50 PPG) and concede just 1.00 goal per away match. Their clean-sheet rate away (50%) suggests they can cope with Düsseldorf’s inconsistent attack.
The H2H leans clearly toward Paderborn (10 wins in 21), with goals historically flowing: 76% BTTS and 67% over 2.5 goals. Therefore, these betting options should be considered, alongside Over 3.5 goals.
This Bundesliga 2 match will be played on Sunday 1 February 2026 at 12:30.
