Paderborn take on the visitors Kaiserslautern in the round 21 match of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, February 17th at Home Deluxe Arena (Paderborn).
Paderborn are strong mid-table team in the 2nd division of the country. The "White-blue" twice, in 2014 and 2019, were able to break into the Bundesliga 1 - but both times it all ended in relegation already at the end of the 1st season in the "elite". It did not work out again, although at the level of the 2nd division of Germany the club is very combat-ready. In the last draw, it turned out to climb to 7th place. Now there is a chance to aim for something more. In winter, there was a relegation from the cup, but at the same time, Paderborn was able to consistently beat Karlsruhe and Fortuna, which allowed them to climb into the top five. And after 4-3 on the field of Hannover, they even managed to get to 4th place. The team’s attack is the most productive in the Second Bundesliga, at home the club scores on average as many as three goals per match.

Kaiserslautern are back in Bundesliga 2. The "Red Devils" - the most popular team, which has repeatedly taken both the "silver salad bowl" and the German Cup. But in 2012, the "registration" in the Bundesliga was lost. And in 2018, the legendary club went to the 3rd division altogether. Only as a result of the last draw it turned out to return, and only through the playoffs - in the "regular season" they took only 3rd place. It is clear that nothing was expected of such a newcomer. So the intermediate results were a pleasant surprise for the fans. And, most importantly, they did not lose their pace even after a long break. Dirk Schuster's men continued their winning streak with 3-1 at Hannover and 2-1 with Holstein at home. The series ended only with St. Pauli, when they lost 0-1 in Hamburg.
Before that, the parties played in the 2nd Bundesliga season 2015/2016 - and then both matches were won by Kaiserslautern. But in the reverse fixture, in August, it was Paderborn who beat the newcomer 1-0 on his field in August. This is the one of the most important matches of the second round for both teams. A lot will depend on the result. At the moment, the teams are only two points away from the third position, which gives the right to the playoffs, six from the second line. Kaiserslautern are not bad, but Paderborn are not worse and plays at home. We bet on the victory of the hosts.
Prediction for the match: Paderborn to win.
