Borussia Dortmund vs Paderborn Live Stats & Betting Odds
Borussia Dortmund Prediction – Can Dortmund bounce back?
Borussia Dortmund were handed a heavy 4-0 defeat away at Bayern Munich prior to the international break which ended a useful looking run of 7 matches without defeat for Dortmund, so they’ll be keen to redeem themselves this Friday night when they entertain bottom club, Paderborn.
Before they were routed 4-0 by Bayern, Dortmund had collected wins against Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Moenchengladbach and Wolfsburg (all to nil) with 4-0, 1-0 and 3-0 victories respectively, along with picking up points in draws with Eintracht Frankfurt, Werder Bremen, Freiburg and Schalke 04.
Form on home turf at their Signal-Iduna-Park has also been dominant as the hosts possess a solid record of 4-1-0 15/3 which includes an earlier 5-1 win against Augsburg as well as 3 clean sheets from their 5 home matches to date too.
In addition, Borussia Dortmund have held the upper hand in previous exchanges against Paderborn as the hosts have won 4 of the previous 5 meetings against Paderborn, and this trend looks set to continue on Friday night.
Paderborn Prediction – Can Paderborn stage a revival?
The visitors slumped to their ninth defeat of the German top flight season just before the international break when they lost 1-0 at home to Augsburg, and this result left Paderborn firmly rooted to the bottom of the Bundesliga and 6 points adrift of fourth from bottom Augsburg and safety.
Therefore, Paderborn could be forgiven for not relishing a trip to Dortmund to face their hurting hosts having been battered by Bayern Munich 4-0 last time out, and the visitors may well be fearing a severe back-lash in this encounter.
Paderborn have had very little to cheer about so far this season with their recent 2-0 home win against Fortuna Dusseldorf being their one and only win in the Bundesliga to date while their away record stands at a poor looking 0-1-4 4/12.
Defeats at Bayer Leverkusen, Hertha Berlin, Cologne and Hoffenheim have done little to boost their flagging confidence levels, and indeed, Paderborn have managed to capture just 3 wins out of their 22 matches on their travels in the German top flight.
Key-Facts – Borussia Dortmund vs Paderborn
- Dortmund still remain unbeaten at home in this season’s Bundesliga
- Paderborn have won just 3 of their 22 away matches in the Bundesliga
- Dortmund have won 4 of the previous 5 meetings against Paderborn
Betting Tips Verdict
Dortmund are expected to produce a reaction to their recent defeat to Bayern Munich and the hosts could also keep a clean sheet into the bargain too.
