Paderborn hosts Darmstadt in round 24 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, March 5th at Benteler Arena (Paderborn)
Paderborn spent last season in the Bundesliga. But, as in their debut attempt, the Blue-Blacks could not gain a foothold there for a long time. And now the team has no chances of rising to the elite again. The men of Steffen Baumgart, who have been in office since 2017, look like real middle peasants in the division. The statistics are almost mirrored - eight wins and eight losses with seven draws. Beyond that, Paderborn scored 28 goals (and Dennis Srbena has 10 goals and two assists) and conceded 27 times. The club showed itself well in the cup and reached the 1/8 finals, where it lost to Borussia Dortmund. But there is really nothing to fight for in the championship. Even the 3rd place is unattainable, and relegation doesn’t threaten the team either.

Over the past 10 years, Darmstadt has managed to move up from the regional division to Bundesliga. But having spent two years there, the team dropped to the level of the 2nd league. At first, the Lilies were average peasants and took tenth place twice. And they managed to draw attention to themselves only in the last draw. Darmstadt was only six points behind Stuttgart, which was promoted to the Bundesliga directly. And Heidenheim, which took part in the playoffs, outranked the Lilies by three. But now they can only remember and dream about that 5th place. Now Darmstadt is also in fifth place, but from the end. So far, this is not a relegation zone. But the Lilies are too unstable in 2021, and there were even four consecutive defeats in January. It seemed that gradually Markus Anfang began to rectify the situation. But three of the last four matches again ended in defeats. And only a 1-0 victory over Osnabrück allows Darmstadt to be in 14th place so far. But a couple more misfires, and several outsiders may outrank the club.
Darmstadt is in greater need of points, and it makes no sense for it to play defense first. But Paderborn will not want to lose at home either. We are looking forward to a spectacular game and a large number of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
