THE PREDICTION
Both of these sides won 2-1 on Saturday and go into this rearranged fixture separated by just two points. Despite no fans being present, home advantage could prove to be a crucial factor. Paderborn have lost just one of their last nine home games and have won three of the last four, while Heidenheim’s 2-1 victory at strugglers Osnabruck at the weekend was only their second success on the road this season. Overall, Frank Schmidt’s side have lost 10 of their last 16 Bundesliga 2 matches away from home, and they have also never beaten Paderborn in five previous meetings, so the hosts look the team to back here.
