THE PREDICTION
Paderborn suffered a 1-0 reverse at Jahn Regensburg last time out but they are in good form at the Benteler-Arena, where they are unbeaten in six league games and have lost just two all season. Steffen Baumgart’s men are sitting comfortably in mid-table, which cannot be said of opponents Darmstadt 98, who are just four points outside the relegation zone following three defeats in four games. Coach Markus Anfang is currently missing a whole host of players through injury, particularly in defence, and his side have lost five of their last seven away league matches, so backing the hosts to win is advised here.
