Darmstadt vs Paderborn Prediction & Betting Tips - 2nd Bundesliga

Prediction published on 12/05/2022, 15:58  by Indran in 2nd Bundesliga Predictions

Darmstadt welcomes Paderborn to the Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor for this crucial match in the Bundesliga 2. The home team are in fourth position with 57 points while the visitors are in sixth position with 51 points. Darmstadt have to win their final match and hope that third placed Hamburger SV either lose or draw as they are currently three points ahead of them but have a superior goal difference. The third placed team goes into a playoff match with the 16th placed team from the Bundesliga to determine who will play in the top flight league next season. Darmstadt looked well on course to comfortably claim third or even second position but a run of three defeats in their last five matches has seen Hamburger SV overtake them as they have won four matches in a row.

Paderborn have been in great recent form and have only lost once in their last ten matches. They are unbeaten in their last six matches with four wins and two draws. Paderborn have also been excellent on the road as they have only lost twice in their last nine matches. The main reason for their resurgence has been their incredible defence that has seen them not concede a goal in their last four matches. Paderborn have lost their last two matches against Darmstadt and will be hoping to avoid a third straight loss. Prior to this Paderborn had only lost one of the previous five matches against them.
