Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Home Deluxe Arena will host Saturday’s 2. Bundesliga game between Paderborn and Holstein Kiel, the two promotion-chasing sides. Paderborn aim to build on back-to-back wins over Hannover and Kaiserslautern, and a triumph over Kiel should see them retain top position in the standings. All Kelvin Ofori, Kai Klefisch, and Sebastian Klaas should miss out through injuries for the home team, while fit-again forward Robert Leipertz is pushing for a start.
Holstein Kiel, on the other hand, did well to beat both Magdeburg and Braunschweig in the previous two league fixtures, which is giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the trip to Paderborn. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Lukas Kwasniok’s troops have been impressive at Home Deluxe Arena so far this term. As for the visiting side, all Marco Komenda, Lewis Holtby, and Stefan Thesker remain in the recovery room.
