Paderborn
Koln suffered a heavy 5-1 loss to Darmstadt in their last match, despite being the better side for much of the game. Darmstadt capitalized on Koln's defensive lapses to secure a stunning win.
Today, Koln faces a tougher challenge against 5th-placed Paderborn. However, Paderborn has their own defensive struggles, conceding 10 goals in 5 matches and failing to win in their last 4 games.
Paderborn's recent dip in form is due to injuries, particularly in defense, with key players like Curda and Musliu out. Despite this, they could compensate with their strong attack, led by Bilbija (5 goals, 2 assists) and Ansah (3 goals).
What we say
Both teams to Score
This is a redemption game for both teams, and we expect them to fight for the three points from the start. With strong attacks and struggling defenses on both sides, we anticipate an open match with goals from both teams.
