Cologne vs Paderborn Predictions

The Bundesliga’s bottom 2 will collide in this Sunday’s afternoon kick-off. Winless Paderborn will travel to the RheinEnergie Stadion to take on Cologne this Sunday.

Cologne picked up just 4 points in their opening 7 Bundesliga games, winning just once. Though it is currently still early days in the 2019/20 season, we feel that this game is likely to be an influential one in this season’s relegation battle.

Paderborn have got the worst defensive record in the Bundesliga after 7 games. They have conceded 19 goals this season so far. It is clear that Paderborn’s defensive efforts are responsible for their poor start to the season.

Paderborn have been decent in attack from their opening 7 games. They have scored a total of 9 goals in their opening 7 games. No team in the Bundesliga’s bottom 6 has scored more goals than Paderborn.

Cologne haven’t been much better than Paderborn at the back this season. They have conceded a total of 16 goals from their opening 7 games. This is just 3 goals less than the Bundesliga’s bottom placed side.

However, Cologne have been much worse than Paderborn in attack this season. Cologne have scored just 5 goals from their 7 Bundesliga games. This is the worst attacking record in the Bundesliga this season.

The only points that have been picked up by either of these two teams this season have been picked up away from home. Paderborn have lost all 4 of their home games this season. Meanwhile, Cologne have lost all 3 of their home games thus far. Cologne’s poor home record may give Paderborn an edge in this game.

Cologne have also failed to beat Paderborn in their last 7 attempts in all competitions. This record stretches back to March 2013.

We feel that Paderborn have as good of a chance as ever to pick up a win this weekend. We feel that Paderborn, draw no bet is a good betting option for this game.

Neither of these two teams have kept a single clean sheet this season. We don’t expect to see either side pick up their first clean sheet of the season this Sunday.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Paderborn’s last 7 Bundesliga games. There have also been over 2.5 goals scored the last 3 times that these 2 sides have met in all competitions.

We feel that this Sunday’s contest will be an end to end game. A 2-1 win for Paderborn is a likely result of this game.
