Paderborn hosts Hamburger SV in round 33 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Sunday, May 12th at Benteler Arena (Paderborn)
The situation is complicated. On the one hand, if Paderborn doesn’t lose to Hamburg, it will at least get into the top three. On the other hand, there is still Union Berlin, and Paderborn can lose the second line that gives the right to promote to Bundesliga bypassing playoffs. The shape of the hosts is perfect- Paderborn had only one defeat in seven rounds. And the only loss in the home field during the season. But you need to understand - this meeting is a kind of final, and no statistics can help here.

To spend the season perfectly until February, and then to lose everything possible. Such an amazing Hamburg. In the last seven matches of the tournament, the team tied three draws. And I don’t even have the heart to call it a failure. This is an epic disaster. And the only question is: will Hamburg manage to play with Paderborn successfully? Firstly, not all is lost for the upcoming visitors.
Victory opens the way to second place. Secondly, the rivals have already met twice in this season, and Hamburg beat the opponent in two cases. And it can tune up for the main match of the season. Bookmakers offer slightly less on +0.5 handicap of the visitors than on the hosts’ victory. Is it deserved?
It will be the match of equal rivals. Hamburg is still a bit higher in class. And it has to prove it. A draw doesn't suit any side. But in the event of a defeat, the visitors are likely to lose all chances even for the third place. In my opinion, Hamburg will take the risk and try to win. As it did in the National Cup in early January.
Prediction for the match: Hamburger SV to win with +0.5 handicap
