Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
After sharing the spoils with Kaiserslautern at the weekend, HSV will look to return to winning ways in the 2. Bundesliga when they take on Paderborn on Matchday 7. HSV rolled over Munster (4-1) and Regensburg (5-0) in the last two home games, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of Saturday’s clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Robert Glatzel, who continues where he left last season, while both Bakery Jatta and Heuer Fernandes are out of contention with injuries.
Paderborn, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Hannover, but given HSV’s excellent performances in front of home fans, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. All Felix Platte, Arne Schulz, and Mattes Hanses miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team.
