Heidenheim hosts Paderborn in round 1 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Saturday, July 24th at Voith-Arena (Heidenheim)
Heidenheim is a club that has been playing in the second most important division of German football for eight years. So far, the chances of getting into the elite are very low. There are no star players in the squad, and the Red-Blues show average results. Frank Schmidt continues to coach Heidenheim. In the previous season, his charges took the final 8th place in the standings of the Second Bundesliga. The performance was good, but the opponents were also gaining points, so we saw a high density in the middle of the table.

Paderborn 07 relatively recently played in the top division. Now the team is forced to fight in the Second Bundesliga for the second season in a row. In the previous championship, the Black-and-Blues finished in 9th place and lagged four points behind the aforementioned Heidenheim. The indicators turned out to be quite average (twelve victories, eleven draws, and the same number of defeats). Paderborn has one of the youngest squads in the Second Bundesliga. The average age of football players is 24.8. This is the third figure in the tournament. Neither the hosts nor the visitors arranged quality transfers.
Although we will see the battle of the middle peasants, it is difficult to call the teams unproductive. In the previous season, Heidenheim both scored and conceded almost one and a half goals per game on average. For Paderborn, these indicators were 1.56 and 1.32, respectively. As you can see, the teams hit the opponent's net at least once, but the defensive lines cannot be called reliable. Beyond that, both teams played every second match with an exchange of goals scored. Now let's look at head-to-head confrontations. After the relegation of Paderborn to the lower division, the teams crossed paths four times. In three out of four cases, more than 3.5 goals were recorded, and the average total in those three games was 4.66 goals. Moreover, the teams exchanged goals in all those matches. We think that the fans will see another spectacular match between these teams.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
