In this Bundesliga fixture, they meet at Paderborn's home ground, where the hosts have collected 4 points from 4 matches and sit 12th, while VfB Stuttgart have 3 points from 4 matches and sit 15th. Both still need points to climb out of the lower reaches of the table. Paderborn had just won 3-1 in the league before closing out with a win in a friendly, while VfB Stuttgart's league form drifted badly, losing two in a row before romping to 3-0 and 5-0 wins in friendlies. But league games and friendlies are two different things. This game should be open and end-to-end, because both teams have attacks that create chances at a similar rate. Paderborn have put 5.75 shots on target per game over their last 10, while VfB Stuttgart have put 5.7 shots on target per game over the same span. But VfB Stuttgart's defence concedes more shots on target, at 6 per game, so there is room for the hosts to play. If Paderborn sit in a block and use their counter-attacking moments, the game could end with the hosts avoiding a heavy defeat.
