Paderborn vs Karlsruher Predictions

• Karlsruher games produced a second league high 3.2 goals per-match last term.
• Both teams scored in a league high 71% of Karlsruher games last season.
• Both teams found the net in 71% of Paderborn’s home league games in 2021/22.
• The main selection won in each of the last three H2H meetings.

Paderborn to thrill

It has been a summer of change at Paderborn as no fewer than 14 new players have joined ahead of the new campaign. Boss Lukas Kwasniok heads into this encounter with an unbeaten personal record against Karlsruher to defend (W2, D2), all of which produced goals at both ends.

We expect this clash to yield similar results as Paderborn were known for both their potent attack and leaky defence at home last season, as evidenced by their 71% rate of both teams finding the net. That is not to mention an average total goal return of 2.9 last term, so this could be yet another exciting affair.

Karlsruher and goals go hand in hand

Only one side’s games produced more goals on average than those that involved Karlsruher last term (3.2) while both teams found the net more often in their games than any other side (24/34 games).

It should be noted that Karlsruher have made interesting defensive acquisitions from respected clubs such as Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Norwich, though it remains to be seen whether the new goalkeeper and defenders will click into a formidable unit.

We predict that both teams will score in this game with over 2.5 match goals, while a 3-2 home win is our tentative selection in the correct score market.
