Bayer Leverkusen hosts Paderborn in German DFB Pokal 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 29th at BayArena (Leverkusen)
Bayer begins to show very unstable results. The Company XI gained only two victories in the last 10 matches, and it doesn’t win for the last 5 games in a row. The team fell to 8th place in the championship standings. There are not enough forces to fight on two fronts. All three Champions League matches were lost, and the team conceded six goals conceded in them. In the last round, Bayer hosted Werder and lost during the match but managed to scratch out a draw (2-2). In general, you can now expect any surprise from Bayer, especially in the cup. Well, at least a conceded goal.
Paderborn is the worst championship team now. Having four points gained in nine rounds, it closes the standings. In the last round of the cup, Paderborn managed to beat the club from the western regional league only on penalties. And it won’t be easy for Paderborn to eliminate even such Bayer. But the team will at least try hard to do it.

And Paderborn may well score current Bayer, even on its pitch. Despite its last place in the standings, the team scored 11 goals. It scored in eight of nine rounds of the championship. Even Bayern conceded two times. So, the visitors are capable of scoring Bayer, which conceded 13 goals in the championship and kept a clean sheet in only three of the last 20 matches. At the same time, no matter how weak the Company XI seems, it probably will not leave without a goal scored. Paderborn will bring it to itself. The same Rödinghausen scored it three goals. In the championship, Paderborn has already conceded 22 goals in total. And Bayer has 14 goals in the asset, and three of them were scored to the net of Paderborn in the first round of the championship. And the skills of its attacking group (Amiri, Alario, Bellarabi, Volland, Diaby, Havertz), even if not every one of them appears on the pitch, will still be enough to score a goal. In my opinion, you can safely bet on the proposed outcome.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
