Football; Germany: 2.Bundesliga

SC Paderborn
SC Paderborn find themselves in a slightly strange position. Despite sitting fourth in the table, their recent form tells a very different story, with just one win from their last six 2.Bundesliga matches.
Last weekend’s 2-0 defeat away at Holstein Kiel only increased the pressure, and this now looks like a fixture they simply have to win to stay in touch with the promotion places.
Home form has been a concern. SC Paderborn have lost to Hannover 96 and SV Elversberg, and drawn with SV Darmstadt 98, in their last three home games at their Home Deluxe Arena.
Defensive issues are hard to ignore as well, with SC Paderborn having conceded at least twice in five of their last six league games.
That said, they do have history on their side here. SC Paderborn are unbeaten in their three previous 2.Bundesliga meetings with Preussen Münster, winning once and drawing twice.
Preussen Munster
Preussen Münster arrive in Paderborn under pressure of their own. They are winless in four matches, collecting just two points in that spell, and last week’s 0-2 home defeat to Karlsruher SC was particularly frustrating after failing to convert several chances.
Away from home, Preussen Münster have struggled badly all season. Statistically, they are the worst away side in the 2.Bundesliga, losing six of their eight road games so far.
Goals have also dried up recently, with under 2.5 goals landing in each of their last three matches.
To make matters worse, defender Paul Jaeckel is suspended after seeing red last week. His absence is significant — the 27-year-old has been a near ever-present this season and a key figure at the back.
The Betting Verdict
This looks like a good opportunity for SC Paderborn to get back on track. Preussen Münster’s away struggles, combined with Jaeckel's suspension, tilt the balance firmly toward the home side.
While SC Paderborn’s defence has been shaky, they should have enough attacking quality to take control against the Preussen Münster side that rarely travels well.
SC Paderborn to win stands out as the main angle, with SC Paderborn to score 2+ goals also worth consideration, given Preussen Münster’s away record.
