Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Paderborn
Match Time & Date:
23 August 2025
12:00
Prediction: 2-0
Dusseldorf
Paderborn play host to Fortuna Dusseldorf at their Home Deluxe Arena in the 2. Bundesliga round 3. Ralf Kettemann’s men have been producing fine performances in the early stages of the season and, as a result, the bookies see them as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. Even though all Michel, Bauerle, Muller, Kinsombi, and Vega Zambrano remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Paderborn have turned their Deluxe Arena into a real fortress.
Die Fortunen, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Arminia Bielefeld (1-5) and Hannover (0-2) and given their defensive struggles, we predict that the hosts will emerge triumphant in Saturday’s encounter. Midfielder Shinta Appelkamp is widely expected to keep his place in the starting XI following his brilliant performance in the German Cup win over Schweinfurt, while the likes of Anhari, Iyoha, Manu, Raimund, and Schock remain in the treatment room.
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.
