Paderborn take on the visitors Osnabruck in the round 2 match of German Bundesliga 2 The match will be played on Friday, August 4th at Home Deluxe Arena (Paderborn).
Paderborn currently doesn't look the best. The Blue and Whites were recently at their peak. In 2018, they reached the quarterfinals of the country's cup for the first time. And in the following season, by achieving the same result in the cup, they also secured promotion to Bundesliga 1 by winning the 2nd division. However, similar to their debut season in 2014/2015, they faced relegation after their first season in Bundesliga 1. But while they dropped back to the 3rd division a year later back then, this time they managed to secure the 9th place and even climbed to the 6th position in the last season. In the new championship, under the guidance of Lucas Kwasniok, they started with an away match against Greuther Furth, where they suffered a devastating blow to their ambitions, conceding 5 goals without reply.

Osnabruck will once again try their luck at this level. The Purple and Whites occasionally attempt to establish themselves in Bundesliga 2. After a long hiatus, they managed to play a couple of consecutive seasons there from 2019 to 2021. Then, there was another drop to the 3rd division of the country. They initially secured only the 6th position there, but last spring, they finished in the top three, which was enough for direct promotion (Freiburg-2 was above them, and regulations prevented them from moving to the next level). On the new-old level, they started by facing Karlsruher. They managed to equalize twice with their goals but ultimately suffered a 2-3 defeat due to a goal by Burnic in the 87th minute.
The last time these teams played in Bundesliga 2 was during the 2020/2021 season. Paderborn secured 4 points: they won away and settled for a draw at home. The hosts are obliged to redeem themselves for the terrible start. Let's bet on the victory of the home team.
Prediction for the match: Paderborn to win.
