Two points between them
SC Paderborn 07 have steadied their league campaign with an unbeaten run of three, and the Bundesliga table makes this a direct contest between sides close together. Eintracht Frankfurt are eighth on 11 points after eight matches, while Paderborn sit 14th on nine: a gap of six places, but only two points.
Paderborn have taken two wins, three draws and three defeats overall, scoring six goals and conceding nine. Frankfurt have three wins, two draws and three defeats, with 13 scored and 18 conceded. A home victory would bring Paderborn level on points with their visitors.
Paderborn’s steadier recent run
Paderborn’s last five league games have brought two wins, two draws and one defeat, with six goals scored and five conceded. Their most recent match ended in a draw, extending the unbeaten sequence. At home, they have won twice and lost twice in four league outings, scoring and conceding four goals.
Frankfurt have also scored six times across their last five, but conceded 10 in that spell. Their record over those matches is two wins, a draw and two defeats, and they come into this fixture after a victory. Away from home, they have one win, one draw and two defeats in four matches, with 11 goals conceded.
A lively history between the sides
The last five meetings have produced no draws: Paderborn won three and Frankfurt two. All five featured at least three goals. The most recent, in June 2020, ended in a 3-2 Frankfurt win.
Players to watch
Paderborn’s six goals across their last five league matches give them a platform to test a Frankfurt defence that has conceded 10 in the same span. Frankfurt, meanwhile, have scored six over that period and will look to make their attacking threat count against a side that has kept three clean sheets in eight league games.
Our prediction
Paderborn’s unbeaten run and home setting make them a slight lean in a close matchup, while Frankfurt’s recent win means they should pose a threat. PreviaXI’s model narrowly favours the hosts, pointing towards a tight contest with limited separation.
