Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
Paderborn
Match Time & Date:
21/10/2023
13:00
Prediction: 2-2
St Pauli
All eyes will be on Home Deluxe Arena when Paderborn and St. Pauli square off against each other in the 2. Bundesliga derby. Paderborn have been in a fine form of late, with the team scoring goals for fun and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. All Kimberly Ezekwem, Maximilian Rohr, and Jannis Heuer remain in the treatment room, while Felix Platte is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
St. Pauli, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in the German second tier and a triumph over Paderborn will see them retain top position in the standings. As the league leaders look sharp in front of goal as well, we predict that both sides are going to find the net in Saturday’s showdown. Midfielder Scott Banks misses out with an ACL injury, but he should be the only absentee in 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.
