Despite being a match between 4th and 11th in the table, it is actually a clash between the 12th ranked in home games and the 10th away.
Greuther Fürth:
After 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, the home team is currently in 4th position, with 27 points won. In their last match, they lost in an away match against Karlsruher SC by (3‑2), after having won (2‑1) at home in the previous match, against St. Pauli.

The Greuther Fürth comes off a stumble, which was very bad for the moment he lives, because he is fighting for the first places. Now, it is of the utmost importance that you can make up lost points, especially playing at home.

The Paderborn is in the middle of the table and this ends up being the reflection of its oscillations. Ideally, you will need to win your home games and seek points away from your stadium, so you have a better chance of getting to a better position in the table. As this day tends to be difficult, you will have to show even more desire to achieve a good result. As already said, a tie wouldn’t be bad, but you will have to sweat your shirt to achieve at least this.
