Team News

Greuther Fuerth
Paderborn
  • With Andreas Linde injured, Alexander Zorniger will call upon loanee Jonas Urbig, who impressed for relegated Jahn Regensburg last term.
  • Summer signing Orestis Kiomourtzoglou is carrying an injury into the new season, while Dickson Abiama will serve a suspension that he picked up at the back end of the 2022/23 campaign.
  • With Attacking duo Robert Leipertz and Felix Platte both unavailable this weekend, expect Max Kruse to make his debut up top.
  • Raphael Obermair is also unavailable for the away side, so Freiberg loanee Kimberly Ezekwem should make his debut also.

Prediction

  • Greuther Fürth collected a much-needed confidence-boosting win on the final day of the 2022/23 season against promoted side Darmstadt, but the hosts laboured over the finish line in the relegation battle. Alexander Zorniger's men ended last season with just one win in their final six league outings but have recruited well this summer.
  • Paderborn fell short in the battle for promotion by a considerable margin last season, but Lukas Kwasniok's side showed form that, at times, resembled that of a title contender. Consistency will be the name of the game in 2023/24 with Paderborn possessing the talent to challenge at the top end of the table once again.
