Week 21 brings us a match on Feb 17th where Paderborn will play host to Kaiserslautern in a 2. Bundesliga match. The game day is forecasted to be a windy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 4th placed Paderborn is fresh off their 4-3 win against Hannover 96. Cedric Teuchert scored the first goal for Hannover 96 in the 2nd minute, then Cedric Teuchert added another in the 4th minute on a feed from Julian Börner But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback victory in the 55th minute on a goal by Robert Leipertz. Paderborn is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Kaiserslautern recorded a 0-1 loss against St. Pauli. Conor Metcalfe struck first for St. Pauli in the 72nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Kaiserslautern was frustrated by St. Pauli’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. St. Pauli ended the match with the shutout victory. With 20 points in their last 10 matches Kaiserslautern should be reasonably happy with their performance.
In their last match on Fri Aug 12th, Paderborn was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Felix Platte struck first for Paderborn in the 82nd minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Kaiserslautern couldn’t muster any offence and Paderborn ran away with the shutout win.
Kaiserslautern’s most prolific scorer has been Terrence Boyd. He has netted three goals over the last 5 matches. Robert Leipertz has been on a hot streak lately. In the last 5 games, the attacker has scored 4 goals for Paderborn.
