Team News

Paderborn
Hamburg
  • Striker Koen Kostons is carrying a knock and is a doubt for Friday's game, so expect Adriano Grimaldi to lead the line.
  • Elsewhere, Calvin Brackelmann is pushing for a recall with Martin Ens the man most likely to make way.
  • Steffen Baumgart will be without suspended midfielder Jonas Meffert on Friday after he crossed the yellow card suspension threshold last time out.
  • Laszlo Benes should return this weekend after missing the clash with St. Pauli through injury, although winger Bakery Jatta has been ruled out.

Prediction

  • Paderborn conceded three goals inside the opening 18 minutes against Hannover last weekend, meaning they suffered an away defeat, despite scoring two goals later in the first half. Even more concerning for Lukas Kwasniok is his side's home record - the hosts have won just one of their last six at the Home Deluxe Arena.
  • Hamburg kept their faint promotion dreams alive last weekend with a surprise win against city rivals St. Pauli thanks to a late Robert Glatzel strike. That result means that Steffen Baumgart's men are within four points of third-placed Fortuna Düsseldorf with two games remaining, although they would still need a minor miracle to make the promotion play-off.
