Paderborn vs Magdeburg tips and predictions

Outcome not inevitable in 2. Bundesliga

The jury is out on this one but it should be a good game. The visitors probably have the edge when you consider their chances and the prices available.

There's not that much separating these sides so the hosts will want to move on from some of their recent displays. Paderborn are in some frustratingly patchy form. They've lost 2 of their last 3 games as hosts. To compound their problems, goals are looking conspicuous by their absence. They've been goalless in 2 of their last 3 matches on their own patch and that isn't anything like enough preparation for the challenge they face. They quickly need to tighten up their defence. They conceded three or more goals in 3 of their last 6 home matches and if they have any selection issues they could be vulnerable again here.

Magdeburg have posted some high calibre displays. In a match that has split opinions, there is plenty of evidence for backing the away win. They've scored at least once in 11 of their last 12 games which is an aspect of their game that they will want to build on here.

If you don't like the sound of this, the BTTS No is the pick.

The head-to-head shows that Paderborn have only won once in the last 9 matches between these two.
