Statistical model based on expected goals (xG), results and match statistics from the last two seasons. For information only. How our model works →
Paderborn have won only once in six Bundesliga games this season, and their home form is no better: one win and two defeats from three matches at the Home Deluxe Arena. Five points from six games leave them 16th of 18 and in real trouble.
Hamburger SV are heading the other way. Three straight wins have pulled them out of a losing spell that began with three defeats, and they sit ninth with nine points. The question on Saturday is whether that momentum can travel to Ostwestfalen.
Stakes at both ends of the table
For Paderborn, every week at the bottom matters more. Their goal difference of minus four is far from disastrous, but they have yet to build the consistency that gives a side confidence at home.
Hamburg’s numbers carry a warning. They have scored six and conceded 15, a goal difference of minus nine. Their wins have come, but the defence has been leaking.
Form
Paderborn have scored five times in their last five league games and conceded nine, a pattern that shows a side capable of hurting opponents but unable to stop them. Hamburg have been more potent recently, with six goals in their last five, though they have conceded 13 in that spell.
Head-to-head
Hamburg have not beaten Paderborn in any of their last five meetings in this competition. Paderborn have won three of those games, with two draws. The most recent visit to Hamburg ended 2-1 to the visitors in December 2023, and the last meeting in Paderborn was a 2-0 win in March 2025.
Team news
Paderborn will be without five players: N. Awortwie-Grant and T. Gayret (both knee injuries), O. Batista Meier (ankle), and M. Hoffmeier and S. Klaas (both muscle injuries). Hamburg are missing N. Remberg (knee) and M. Vuskovic, who is out for doping reasons.
Our prediction
PreviaXI’s model narrowly favours Paderborn, and the reasoning is clear: home advantage counts for something, and Paderborn have been the more likely side to create chances in front of their own supporters. Hamburg’s away record of one win in three is a concern for them, and their defensive numbers give the hosts hope. Expect a tight, cagey game, with the home side’s extra threat proving decisive.
