Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Paderborn
Match Time & Date:
12 September 2025
17:30
Prediction: 2-1
Bochum
Following a goalless draw with Nurnberg, Paderborn will look to return to winning ways in 2. Bundesliga when they face Bochum on Friday evening. Paderborn failed to beat Nurnberg on the road, but it has to be noted that they missed several clear-cut opportunities to score. Bear in mind that Tjark Scheller is banned for the hosts following his sending-off in a 2-1 loss to Dusseldorf.
Bochum, on the other hand, continue with their old habit of producing fine displays at home while struggling on the travels. As Paderborn are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we so not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team. In their last meeting at Home Deluxe Arena, Paderborn crushed Bochum 3-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
