Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
After suffering elimination to Hertha Berlin in the DFB Pokal last 16, Hamburg will look to return to winning ways when they take on Paderborn in the 2. Bundesliga. Die Rothosen aim to keep their 100% record at home intact, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Both Ludovit Reis and Anssi Suhonen remain in the treatment room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s encounter.
Lukas Kwasniok’s troops, on the other hand, aim to recover from the DFB Pokal defeat to Bayer Leverkusen. Paderborn, though, are not regarded as good travellers and given HSV’s excellent home record, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. Both Felix Platte and Niclas Nadj should miss out through illness, while Maximilian Rohr has yet to overcome a tendon injury, speaking of the visiting team.
