Prediction: 1-2
Paderborn
Paderborn will be aiming to sneak into the 2. Bundesliga playoffs when they take on Karlsruher on the last day of the season. Paderborn are level on points with third-place Elversberg, who face Schalke on the road in the decider. Therefore, three points from Sunday’s clash should guarantee the visitors a spot in the playoffs. The likes of Hunziker, Pfeiffer, Schleusener, and Sihlaroglu are out of contention with injuries, while Tunisia international Ben Ferhat is a major doubt.
The hosts, on the other hand, are sitting in ninth place in the standings ahead of Paderborn’s visit. As Karlsruher have nothing to play for in Sunday’s encounter, we are tempted to place our bets on the visiting side this time out. Talented forward Casper Terho should be the only absentee in the away team, while Santiago Castaneda is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
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.
