Dusseldorf vs Paderborn Match Preview

Dusseldorf is ranked at 5th place with 23 points and comes in a pretty good run after four consecutive wins and a loss over the last five matches. They bounced back pretty good from that heavy 5-0 defeat against Bochum winning the next four in a row and now sit four points behind the play-off zone with one game to play which means they could shorten that to a single point in case of a win.

In the last four matches they scored a total of 11 goals averaging almost three goals per game and only in the loss against Bochum they failed to score. Hennings has found some very good momentum as he scored for three consecutive games and is their best scorer with six goals so far.

Paderborn, on the other hand, is ranked at 12th place with 18 points. They come after a single win a draw and three losses over the last five matches. After a three-game losing streak, they managed to bounce back with a draw against Braunchweig and a win against VfL Osnabruck. Also, in the DFB Pokal, they secured a ticket for the next stage winning against a Bundesliga team like Union Berlin.

They have scored five goals across all competitions in the last five matches, while in the league it is just three. Still their offensive duo Srbeny - Fuhrich is delivering quite good right now with 11 goals scored together.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. Dusseldorf plays at home and will seek a much needed three pointer considering that they are yet to lose a game at home ground and they have scored at least a goal in each of the six games played so far. Paderborn is giving signals of waking up and they will need to continue on this road to climb in ranks.
