Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Hamburg SV and Paderborn face each other at Volksparkstadion in a highly-anticipated 2. Bundesliga game. Die Rothosen have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team struggling on the road, while impressing at home ground. HSV are eyeing their 11th home win of the season and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday’s clash. Both Mario Vuskovic and Bakery Jatta are banned for the match, while Noah Katterbach and Andra Nemeth remain in the recovery room.
Paderborn, meanwhile, rolled over Braunschweig 5-1 in their last league fixture and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Felix Platte and Sebastian Klaas miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Hamburg.
