Paderborn hosts Karslruher in round 26 of German Bundesliga 2. The match will be played on Friday, March 19th at Benteler Arena (Paderborn)
After a debut in the elite (in the 2014/2015 season), Paderborn not only immediately left it but also ended up in the 3rd tier a year later, transiting through the second one. Of course, the management remembers that Steffen Baumgart raised the club from there. With him, the Blue-Blacks managed to gain two promotions in a row (in 2018 and 2019) and return to Bundesliga. But they took only 18th place. The bosses didn’t fire the coach, and now he is holding his players in the middle of the standings of the 2nd German league. However, there were more unfortunate results in recent matches - a home draw with Heidenheim and defeats to Jahn Regensburg and Darmstadt. Nevertheless, Paderborn beat St. Pauli on Monday.

Karlsruher is showing dramatic progress compared to last season. In the previous championship, Eurofighter could be relegated until the last. The Blues scored the same 37 points as Nurnberg and avoided playoffs only thanks to better additional indicators. Now, under the leadership of 38-year-old Christian Eichner, Karlsruher is vying for a place among the leaders. Truth be told, it did not gain optimal shape for the decisive part of the season. Karlsruher is not bad in defense, and has conceded only one goal in the last four rounds (against Nurnberg, and already in the added minutes of the home matches). But the Blues beat only Darmstadt (0-1). Two more matches ended in goalless draws. As a result, Karlsruher has already begun to lag behind its competitors. There are not so many rounds left, and if the team doesn’t step up now, it will have to say goodbye to the dream of Bundesliga.
If we look at the last 11 head-to-head matches, the visitors have won only once - Karlsruher succeeded in 2017. And the Eurofighter has not lost four games in a row. However, both clubs have been showing good football lately. Let's believe that they will please with an abundance of goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
