Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Paderborn will be aiming to recover from the DFB Pokal loss to Werder Bremen when they face Eintracht Braunschweig in the 2. Bundesliga round 11. Paderborn are eyeing their fourth home win of the process and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Their injury list remains pretty long, but Lukas Kwasniok can count on key players for the Braunschweig game.
Die Lowen, on the other hand, head into the 2. Bundesliga match following a 1-1 draw with Munster. Even though Braunschweig were not in action in the German Cup in midweek, we are tempted to put our money on Paderborn, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. All Niklas Tauer, Robert Ivanov, Marvin Rittmuller, Walid Ould-Chikh, Sidi Sane, and Tino Casali are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
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.
