THE PREDICTION

After two weeks stewing on losing their place at the top of the 2. Bundesliga table following defeat at the hands of Greuther Furth, Paderborn are expected to come out of the traps flying here against Darmstadt 98. A 2-0 win over Nurnberg last time out elevated Darmstadt to within a point of Paderborn, which puts into perspective the importance of this clash. With home advantage in their favour, Paderborn are likely to try and seize the initiative offensively in a bid to add to their 25 league goals already scored this season, but could leave themselves exposed vs a Darmstadt side who could prove deadly on the counter-attack. These two clubs have racked up 42 goals between them so far in this 2. Bundesliga campaign and the expectation is that we’ll see more in this one, so back over 2.5 goals scored across 90 minutes.
