Paderborn
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Braunschweig
All eyes will be on Benteler Arena when Paderborn and Braunschweig face each other in the 2. Bundesliga round 12. Paderborn aim to put an end to their three-game losing run in the league, and they are likely to fight tooth and nail in the midweek clash. Since Elmar Volkmann’s troops have been struggling in front of goal of late, home win should not be considered. Braunschweig, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Osnabruck.
Seeing that both sides have been anything but impressive up front in recent weeks, we are tempted to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Braunschweig defender Benjamin Kessel, who suffered an injury in the 2-1 loss to St. Pauli, is unlikely to recover in time to face Paderborn. Anyhow, a low-scoring affair is on the cards at Benteler Arena as both sides struggle in front of goal.

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.
