Hoffenheim is not the favourite in this match-up, and Paderborn is (statistically) the worst championship's team right now. It seems that the hosts suffer from an insane amount of casualties. The hosts will have issues in this match, not due to Paderborn's strength, but mostly due to this reason and the fact that this team, basically fostered by Julian Nagelsmann, has recently been a modest outsider.

Paderborn knows how to resist against superior teams: it has lost to Leverkusen (0:1) and Bayern Monaco (2:3). However, Paderborn's players seem to be anxious about challenging superior teams with offensives, so Hoffenheim should prevail - given that it will be the host.
