Paderborn
Suspended: None

MATCH PREVIEW
MAIN PREDICTION: DRAW
Holstein Kiel have one of the best home record in the division, winning seven, drawing five and losing only two of their 14 league fixtures at Holstein Stadium to take 26 points from a possible 42. Along the way, the Storks have scored 29 goals and conceded 19 on their own turf, owning the fourth best goal difference at home. They have also won the last two home league matches, seeing off Aue 5-1 and St. Pauli 2-1. Although they managed only a 1-1 league draw at bottom side Ingolstadt they are still in the race for the playoff spot, with only three points between them and third-placed Union Berlin.
Paderborn, who were in the third division last term, have been in tremendous form this season, sitting only one point behind the playoff spot in fourth, with five league matches left to go. However, after kicking off 2019 with three wins, one draw and three defeats in their first seven league fixtures, Paderborn have turned a corner in the last couple of weeks, winning three and drawing one of the last four league fixtures. Last weekend, they thrashed rock-bottom side Duisburg 4-0 at Benteler Arena.
This is a huge league fixture at the top of the table, with both teams desperate for a win. I can see these two strong teams cancelling each other out, so have a punt on the draw.
SECOND PREDICTION: HILO - HIGH
Holstein Kiel have scored a respectable 54 goals in their 29 league matches so far while Paderborn have scored the second highest amount of league goals (66), with only leaders Cologne exceeding that tally (75). I can see this being a high-scoring affair.
HEAD TO HEAD
The teams have met just once in second tier, with them playing out an entertaining 4-4 draw back at Paderborn back in November.
