Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
After holding HSV to a 2-2 draw at Volksparkstadion, Paderborn will be aiming to return to winning ways in the 2. Bundesliga when they face Regensburg on Matchday 8. Paderborn have been scoring goals for fun of late and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play in Friday’s clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Filip Bilbija, who scored a brace against die Rothosen, while both Arne Schulz and Mattes Hanses are sidelined with injuries. Forward Felix Platte misses out through illness.
Meanwhile, the visitors, have been struggling offensively of late and given their five-game goalless run in the German second tier, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. You should bear in mind that Paderborn outplayed Regensburg 3-0 in their last meeting at Home Deluxe Arena. The likes of Ochojski, Schonfelder, Saller, Schmidt, and Bittroff are injured for the visiting team.
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.
