Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Paderborn play host to Karlsruher at their Home Deluxe Arena on day 17 of the new 2. Bundesliga campaign. Paderborn are eager to climb to the automatic promotion berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s encounter. All Hansen, Michel, and Musliu are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Karlsruher, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-2 win over Regensburg. Christian Eichner’s troops have been showing signs of improvement up front of late and given Paderborn’s attacking potential at home ground, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. In their last encounter in the German second tier the two sides played out a 1-1 draw. The likes of Sihlaroglu, Hunziker, and Gunther miss out with injuries for the away team, while defender Robin Bormuth is a major doubt.
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.
