Prediction: 2-1
Paderborn
Nurnberg will be looking to build on their confidence-boosting 2-1 win over Kaiserslautern when they welcome fellow promotion hopefuls Paderborn to Max-Morlock-Stadion. That victory not only ended a poor run for the hosts but also reaffirmed their playoff ambitions as they climbed closer to the top six. Nürnberg will, however, have to make do without Janis Antiste, who misses out through suspension.
Paderborn, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, having lost each of their last three games in the 2. Bundesliga. Their form on the road has been inconsistent, and their defensive lapses have cost them dearly in recent games. The visitors are also weakened by the absence of Santiago Castaneda, who is suspended for this clash. With Nurnberg showing resilience and improved form at a crucial stage of the season, and Paderborn stumbling at the wrong time, the momentum is firmly with the home side. Backed by their fans and boasting renewed confidence, we predict that the Bavarians are going to pick up all three points from Saturday's game.
