Wolfsburg haven’t won at home under Dieter Hecking and have kept one clean sheet since October. Paderborn have found the net in 12 consecutive games, BTTS my only play in the Bundesliga playoffs.

HTH


Wolfsburg have never lost against Paderborn, leading the head to head 3-0 alongside two draws.

Home Woes for Wolfsburg


Wolfsburg have had a turbulent season, Dieter Hecking becoming the third manager of the campaign in March. The 61-year-old has won two of his nine games in charge.

The Wolves haven’t won at home since 14 January, a run of eight matches without a victory at Volkswagen Arena.

The regular season ended in a 3-1 victory at bottom club St. Pauli. Dzenan Pejcinovic scored his eighth goal of the season, the 21-year-old striker netting in three of his previous six appearances.

Second Chance for Paderborn


Paderborn won one of their final five matches to miss out on automatic promotion on goal difference. The run included a damaging 5-1 defeat at Elversberg.

Sebastian Klaas scored late to secure a 2-2 draw against Karlsruhe and take the race to the final matchday.

Ralf Kettemann’s side secured a 2-0 win at Darmstadt to overtake Hannover and sneak into the playoff position. Stefano Marino opened the scoring and Sven Michel came off the bench to secure victory in the 89th minute.
