SC Paderborn - FSV Frankfurt

What a great success and season from Paderborn last year. They played really great soccer and this although with less money they have for transfers. They have to go down with their budget this season again but they showed that they again able to play a good role in this league but they are not in such good position as last year. Some problems in defensive and also with a lot of injuries stopped them to get a better place right now. Sure they have potential in their squad but at the moment they look not very good. They played good first half in Cologne but in second half they lost their good attitude and with 0-3 they were a deserved loser. Overall what I see they do much better on the road as on home soil. They have huge problems to win matches, maybe this is because they are much better to play on counter attacks as to push and take pressure on a deep standing team. Another key fact is that they are not able to win matches against teams ahead of them, all their three wins they collected were against weaker teams behind them. Against Bochum 4-0, Sandhausen 3-0 and Aue 2-0. All the other encounter they draw or lost. This is maybe due to their weak scoring performances, because 5 times they score only a single goal, 3 times zero and only one time 2 goals but they got only a draw there against Dresden. All you can see is that they have a lot of problems in front of the goal. What make things not easier is that this week some players have the flu and they could not train much, keeper Kruse is very doubtful here. 

FSV stay in touch to place three and they are able to hold the pressure high at the moment above all after their good performance against Aalen where they won easy 6-1 and showed that they are more than able to score. They are very hard to play away from home anyway. This means that they are very hard to crack and a hard nut for Paderborn, and I am sure that they have the weapons to overcome Paderborn too. With one of their best season in 2.Bundesliga they are far away from any trouble and they can play very easy at the moment because their are safe and no one expect something from them. Their target is almost reached with avoiding relegation, sure some points needed as with 40+ you can say absolutely safe. Coach Möhlmann hold the pressure high and the team looks very good prepared for this encounter. The mood is very well, self confidence and motivation too. Away from home they scored in almost all their matches and they showed that they are more than able to score not only one rather two possible as well. With Heubach, Jönsson and Heitmeier they have some missings but these were not in the starting lineup against Aalen anyway.

Overall I see FSV Frankfurt with a huge advantage here as they come from a excellent win who push them additional while Paderborn has some problems and do very hard to win matches at home. This can keep FSV in a very good position for this match. I am very confident that they are able to get here anything. GL
