Command Analysis

Paderborn

Current form
Before the start of the season, Paderborn was considered one of the contenders for promotion – it was hardly worth counting on a direct ticket to the Bundesliga, but the selection of players allowed them to fight for the transitional match zone. In the first round, Lukas Kwasnek team made a lot of mistakes and currently occupies only the eighth line in the table with 28 points, but at the same time, they are only two points behind third-placed Hannover. In the last round, Paderborn lost 1:2 to Karlsruhe, thus extending the winless streak to three matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gotze, Klaas and Michel are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Paderborn have not won in their last three matches – two defeats and a draw
- Paderborn have suffered five defeats against Hertha in their last six matches
Estimated line-up: Schubert – Brakelmann, Scheller, Kurda – Zeinter, Castaneda, Engels, Obemayr – Ansa, Bilbia, Platte.

Hertha Berlin

Current form
Hertha, like its current opponent, was considered one of the contenders for promotion before the start of the season, the selection of players allowed it to set such goals. However, from the very start, the old lady began to make regular mistakes and got stuck in the lower part of the table for a long time, from where it has not been able to get out to this day. With 22 points, Christian Fiel team occupies 12th place in the table and is already eight points behind third-placed Hannover, the transition zone is at the same distance, so far there is no danger of getting involved in the fight for survival.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brooks, Dudziak and Hussein are injured. Dardai is disqualified.
Interesting trends for betting
- Hertha have not won in their last three matches – two defeats and a draw
- Hertha have scored in six of their last seven matches

1.71Tip and bets
Paderborn, after three consecutive failures, will certainly be in a very determined mood today and will play only to win. The hosts play attacking football and even in their weakest matches they regularly score, and today they will certainly not deviate from their style. Hertha, in turn, still has a chance to fight for promotion, but to do this they need to beat a potential direct competitor, the old lady will also take risks – the match will certainly be productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
Paderborn has lost a lot of points in the last rounds and has fallen to eighth place in the table - the situation needs to be urgently corrected. It is obvious that on their home field, Kwasnek charges will be set only for victory and they are quite capable of setting themselves maximum goals - Hertha has not been particularly stable recently, and throughout the season, the capital does not have a significant advantage in class, it makes sense to give preference to the hosts.
Bet - Paderborn win. This bet is offered for 2.25
Bet on corners
Paderborn will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Hertha is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
Bet - total over 10.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.85
