Paderborn Preview – Can Paderborn spark a revival?
The hosts look to be up against it this Friday night when they entertain Cologne despite holding home advantage at their Benteler-Arena as they’ve been handed three defeats on the trot and are without a win in the Bundesliga from their last 5 matches.
Paderborn have lost 4 of these previous 5 matches with defeats incurred against Wolfsburg, Hertha Berlin, Bayern Munich and Mainz, while picking up a point in a 1-1 draw away at Schalke, meaning that the hosts have earned just 1 point from the last possible 15 on offer.
Results at home have also nose-dived in recent weeks as they’ve lost their last 3 matches on home turf on the trot, scoring 4 goals but conceding a total of 10 goals in return during this miserable period amidst an overall home record that stands at 2-1-9 16/29.
It’s unsurprising then, that the hosts currently sit rock-bottom of the Bundesliga and find themselves 9 points adrift of safety ahead of this weekend’s action.
Cologne Preview – Can Cologne keep slim hopes alive?
Having won 3 of their last 4 matches overall in the German top flight, Cologne look to be in far better shape to take the points in this upcoming clash against Paderborn despite being away from home.
Recent wins against Freiburg 4-0, Hertha Berlin 5-0 and a 3-0 win against Schalke show that the visitors are capable of scoring goals but equally important, able to keep clean sheets too as they look to keep their slim hopes of a top six finish alive with a win here.
Ciologne sit in 11th place on the Bundesliga ladder and trail 6th placed Schalke by a 7-point margin, but all three points at a seemingly down and out Paderborn could keep them in the frame for a possible late surge for one of the European spots.
However, an away record of 3-1-7 16/26 isn’t exactly great so it may be best to back the visitors with the asian handicap here.
