THE PREDICTION

Holstein Kiel climbed back up to third in the table with a 2-0 win at Darmstadt on Sunday, their first victory in four league games. And they did so without key man Fin Bartels - who remains doubtful for this one - which will give them added confidence ahead of a tricky assignment at the Benteler-Arena. Paderborn were also winners last time out and have lost just one of their last six Bundesliga 2 games. On top of that, Steffen Baumgart’s men have won five of their last seven on home turf. However, Kiel boast the joint-best away record in the division with five wins and three draws, making them the only team unbeaten on the road. The visitors will be determined to cling on to third spot and look good for Draw No Bet here.
