Team News

Holstein Kiel
Paderborn
  • Marcel Rapp will likely opt for an unchanged starting XI when his side take on Paderborn on Saturday afternoon.
  • Timo Becker returned to fitness in time to face Schalke, meaning Carl Johansson is the home side's only confirmed absentee here.
  • Defender Visar Musliu will return to the bench after serving the final instalment of his suspension.
  • Lukas Kwasniok will be without attacking midfielder Filip Bilbija on Saturday after he picked up a knee injury during the defeat against Kaiserslautern.

Prediction

  • Holstein Kiel capitalised on a first-half Ron Schallenberg red card to cement a 2-0 advantage against recently relegated Schalke last time out. Marcel Rapp's men have kicked off their season in style, winning three of their first four league fixtures to ensure that they sit in third place ahead of the visit of Paderborn.
  • A second-half Florent Muslija goal gave Paderborn hope last weekend, but Lukas Kwasniok's side couldn't avoid defeat on home soil against a resurgent Kaiserslautern side. Saturday's visitors have won just one of their opening four league games this season and sit 13th in the table heading into gameweek five.
