Paderborn Form

Paderborn have been inconsistent in the opening seven rounds of the new 2. Bundesliga season, grabbing only eight points and sitting on the edge of the relegation zone.

Recent form has improved in the last two weeks, grabbing four points from matches against Wehen (won 2-1) and Magdeburg (1-1). Previously Paderborn lost to Kaiserslautern 2-1 and Holstein Kiel 2-1.

Florent Muslija is the only player on the roster to score two goals so far, while Felix Platte has two assists.

Filip Bilbija, Visar Musliu, Robert Leipertz and Max Rohr are injured.

Schalke Form

Schalke failed to justify the pre-season role of a serious promotion contender. They are currently inside the relegation zone after collecting only seven points from the first seven rounds.

The Miners earned only two victories so far, both at home against Magdeburg 4-3 and Kaiserslautern 3-0. Losses were registered against Braunschweig 1-0, Kiel 2-0, St Pauli 3-1 and Hamburg 5-3.

On average, the squad from Gelsenkirchen concedes slightly over two goals per contest, while scoring 1.71.

Verdict

Paderborn v Schalke

Paderborn struggle defensively, keeping zero clean sheets this season. Schalke were involved in plenty of high-scoring affairs recently, so BTTS & over 2.5 goals is the best bet.
