Sure Prediction For Today, Friday 1st November 2019

Struggling Paderborn may be traveling to Hoffenheim with a renewed sense of confidence this Friday after picking up their first win of the campaign last weekend, beating Fortuna Dusseldorf 2-0. Despite their difficult start to the season, there are now a total of 4 teams who are only 3 points above them in the Bundesliga table.

Despite the difference in quality between these two teams, we predict that this will be a competitive game. Paderborn has struggled to accumulate points this season, however, their attacking output has been impressive.

Paderborn has currently scored the most goals in the bottom 6 of the Bundesliga and has scored the same amount of goals as Hoffenheim has this season. On top of that, Paderborn has failed to score in just 1 of their 9 Bundesliga games.

Paderborn has also only managed to keep a single clean sheet this season. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim have kept just 2 clean sheets in their opening 9 Bundesliga games.

Both teams have scored in 7 of Paderborn’s 9 Bundesliga games this season. Hoffenheim have also been involved in entertaining games in recent weeks. Both teams have scored in 3 of Hoffenheim’s last 5 Bundesliga games. We feel that both teams are likely to score in this Friday’s fixture.

There have also been over 2.5 goals scored in 7 of Paderborn’s 9 Bundesliga games this season. Meanwhile, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Hoffenheim’s 9 Bundesliga games, including 3 of their last 4 fixtures. We feel that there are likely to be over 2.5 goals scored in this game, as well.

Despite their relatively impressive attacking quality, we feel that Paderborn’s defense may let them down once again this Friday. Paderborn has conceded more goals than any other Bundesliga team this season. This doesn’t bode well for them ahead of a fixture against an in-form Hoffenheim side.

Hoffenheim have won each of their last 4 competitive games. This includes each of their last 3 Bundesliga fixtures. They have lost just 1 of their last 5 Bundesliga games. On top of that, Paderborn has historically struggled versus Hoffenheim and has failed to beat Hoffenheim in each of their last 4 attempts.

Hoffenheim have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 competitive games, therefore we feel that they are likely to score at least 2 in this fixture.

Paderborn has lost a total of 8 games in all competitions this season. 5 of their 8 losses have been suffered by a margin of just 1 goal. We feel that a 2-1 win for Hoffenheim is a likely result of this game. However, our prediction is Under 5.5 Goals.
