Greuther Furth hosts Paderborn in round 16 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, January 15th at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer (Furth)
Greuther Furth missed a chance to lead the standings. On the 8th of January, Cloverleaves played on the field of Karlsruher, the team that goes below the equator of the Bundesliga 2 standings. It seemed that even a quick conceded goal did not embarrass the Greens - they answered with goals scored by Nielsen and Ernst at intervals of 5 minutes and were ahead by the middle of the 1st half. Still, the hosts were better. Goller scored a double, and the score was 2-2 before leaving for the locker room. And Hofmann scored the winning goal at the end. Having lost to the middle peasant, Greuther Furth interrupted its streak and, most importantly, did not take the chance to catch up with the leader of the Bundesliga 2, Hamburg.

Paderborn played in the Bundesliga 1 last season. The result was about the same as in the debut season at this level - terrible statistics and last place. Having returned to its familiar environment, the team began to look much more confident. But so far it is rather a middle peasant in the division than one of the leaders. There were recessions with three defeats in a row, including from the end of November. However, Paderborn won twice in the last three rounds, including last Sunday. On January 10, Steffen Baumgart's charges exchanged goals with Aue at the very beginning of the match (in the 3rd and 8th minutes). But in the second half, the Blue-Blacks managed to put the squeeze on the opponent who was higher in the standings. A clear playing advantage resulted in Justvan's winning goal. He scored already in the 57th minute, but even after that, the Blue-Blacks did not give the opponent any chances even for a draw. Nevertheless, Paderborn is in the middle of the standings (21 points scored), quite noticeably lagging behind the leaders.
Greuther is holding a good championship, but Paderborn is also in good shape and won't give up points so easily. We think it is worth betting on a neutral option with Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
