In their last six meetings, Borussia Mönchengladbach won as many as five times, and the last two at home were both 2-0 wins. But this time the situation is different, because the home team is stuck in 18th place in the table, having collected only 3 points from 7 matches, while Paderborn sit 13th with 8 points. Mönchengladbach have just won two in a row in all competitions, edging their latest Bundesliga game 3-2, but the overall season is still heavy: 1 win, 6 losses, 11 scored, 22 conceded, with the defence clearly a problem. Paderborn are not flashy, but they have scored 6 and conceded 9 in 7 matches, losing only 3, and they have just lost 0-1 at home in the cup, which is their only defeat in their last five. The game should open up early, because both teams have similar shots on target in their last ten (Mönchengladbach 6.11 per game, Paderborn 6.13 per game), but the home defence is clearly leakier. The first thing to watch is whether Paderborn sit back and counter immediately or attack from the start, because if they choose the latter, the game could end in a share of the points or the visitors taking something away.
