Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Paderborn will look to keep their playoffs hopes alive when they take on fellow promotion-chasing side Heidenheim on Sunday. Paderborn are eyeing their 12th home win of the season and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. Both Felix Platte and Sebastian Klaas are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, are eager to stay in the automatic promotion berth and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Defender Lennard Maloney is banned for the match, while all Norman Theuerkauf, Adrian Beck, and Elidon Qenaj miss out with injuries. In their last meeting at the venue Heidenheim defeated Paderborn 2-1, which is yet another reason why this betting option should be considered.
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.
