Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Holstein Kiel and Paderborn go head to head at Holstein-Stadion in Saturday’s matinee. Die Storche quickly bounced back from a 4-2 loss to Magdeburg, with the team beating Schalke in Gelsenkirchen at the weekend and they must be high on confidence ahead of Matchday 5. As there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, boss Marcel Rapp is unlikely to make changes to the team that faced die Knappen.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Kaiserslautern, but beating Kiel on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Forward Filip Bilbija is sidelined with a knee injury for the away team, but there are no suspended players in the away team ahead of the trip to Kiel.
Highlighted Team (Paderborn):
Welcoming their rivals at Benteler-Arena, Paderborn are a German club that will compete in the Bundesliga in the 2019/2020 season. The club played their first ever match in the German top flight on August 24, 2019, with the team sharing the spoils with Mainz (2-2) in front of home fans.
Benteler-Arena can hold up to 15,000 spectators and it was opened on July 20, 2008. Paderborn play their home matches in blue and black shirts and black shirts, but white is the dominant colour of their away kit. Until the 1980s TuS Scholls Neuhaus were considered the club’s main rivals are Arminia Bielefeld, with the two teams facing each other in Ostwestfalenderby.
This rivalry was established in the 2008/2009 season when Arminia Bielefeld dropped to the 2. Bundesliga. It has to be noted that Paderborn have yet to represent Germany in European competitions.
