Prediction: 1-2
Paderborn
Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena will host Saturday’s football game between Hannover and Paderborn, the two playoffs-chasing sides. Hannover aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Kaiserslautern (1-3) and St. Pauli (0-2), but they face an uphill task against the in-form visitors. To make things even worse for the home side, important defender Phil Neumann serves a one-game ban. Midfielder Antonio Foti has yet to overcome a ligament problem.
Paderborn, on the other hand, kicked off 2023 in style, with the team beating both Karlsruher and Dusseldorf in the last two league matches, and given Hannover’s difficulties at the back, away win should be considered. A man to watch in the away side will be Marvin Pieringer, who scored his eighth goal of the season at the weekend, while Lukas Kwasniok should have a full squad to choose from for Saturday’s encounter. In the first half of the season Paderborn outplayed Hannover 4-2.
