- Frankfurt have won three of their last five matches across all current competitions (3 Wins and 2 Defeats).
- Paderborn have won one of their last five (1 Win, 2 Draws, 2 Defeats).
- The visitors have scored six away goals in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 (Won 1, Drawn 1, Lost 2).
Paderborn look to be set for a mid-table season
SC Paderborn 07 and Eintracht Frankfurt should have enough in their boots to survive in the Bundesliga 2026-2027, but they won't be troubling the top half of the table this season. Die Adler arrive at Home Deluxe Arena on Saturday down in 15th, having collected eight points from seven games, while the hosts are up to 12th with nine points from eight.
Paderborn's form has been mixed since the opening day, with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in their last five matches across all current competitions. Last weekend, Paderborn followed up a 0-1 DFB Pokal 2026/2027 home defeat to VfB Stuttgart with a 0-0 draw away at Borussia Monchengladbach, a result which reflected their mid-table position.
Ralf Kettemann has built his side around a compact shape, wing-back protection and making the most of the chances they get when the game opens up. Santiago Castaneda is their spark in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, but he's scored just 1 goal in four games.
Adolf Huetter has put Frankfurt back on the offensive this season and the visitors will look to press forward and play at pace, turning quickly and counter-pressing the hosts when they lose possession.
Adler on the attack
Younes Ebnoutalib has been Frankfurt's big spark in the Bundesliga 2026-2027 so far, scoring four in four, while two of the last six goals that Frankfurt have scored have been registered by him.
This should be a close game, but we'll have to take the favourite for it here, as Frankfurt should win it. The 11/10 odds on Die Adler look a bit skinny with Paderborn at 2/1 and the draw at 57/20, but we're taking the value on offer as the away side can play with greater intensity than their hosts and have that extra spark at their disposal.
Backing over 2.5 goals at 9/20 points to an open game, while Both Teams To Score - Yes at 21/50 is the pick for this encounter given the verticality of Frankfurt and the fact that Paderborn will create chances when they break.
Paderborn are solid at home, with two wins and two losses from four, and only four goals conceded in that quartet of games. As such, we don't see Frankfurt running away with this one, even though the match will be won by the away visitors.
