Hamburg and Paderborn are fighting hard for a place in the top 3, not only to win medals, but also to get a chance to return to the Bundesliga.
Hamburg's recent matches have been unconvincing - 2 wins, 2 defeats and 1 draw, with the team conceding 11 goals in those 5 games. Home matches were more successful, but still the team concedes quite a lot at home, although they score twice as many.
Paderborn have been playing very poorly away in recent times, but they try to score at least 1 goal per game. In terms of performance both teams are leaders in the championship, the average total of Hamburg and Paderborn is above 3 goals per game.
Prediction: at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 2.5" bet, odds 1.43
