Match preview: Paderborn vs Holstein Kiel

Paderborn and Holstein Kiel face off at the Home Deluxe Arena in this first-round clash of the 2. Bundesliga. Historical encounters at this ground favour the visitors, who have won 2 of the last 4 matches here, with 1 draw and 1 loss. In fact, their last encounter at this venue in the 2. Liga on 17 February 2024 ended in a resounding 4-0 victory for Holstein Kiel, with goals from Niklas Niehoff, Finn Dominik Porath, Marvin Schulz, and Steven Skrzybski. It’s vital to consider each team’s home and away performances, given Paderborn has displayed contrasting results on their own turf compared to playing away.

Team analysis: Paderborn

The home team begins this season after finishing 4th in the last campaign. Interestingly, they have recorded more positive results away than at home, with 6 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses as visitors, scoring 22 goals and conceding 20. Conversely, they managed 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 defeats at home, scoring 25 and conceding 23. Paderborn enters this match following a 3-0 defeat to Karlsruher SC. Over their last 10 home matches across all competitions, they have secured 5 victories, drawn 1, and lost 4. Their defence has been leaky, allowing goals in 8 of their past 10 games, but their attack has been consistent, scoring in 8 of those encounters. Notably, they have managed to overturn a deficit in just 2 of the 6 matches where they conceded first.

Only three points separated Paderborn from the pinnacle of German football last season. They view this performance positively and aim to start this edition strongly, particularly with the backing of their home supporters against a Holstein Kiel side that struggled to avoid relegation.

Team analysis: Holstein Kiel

The visiting team embarks on this season following a disappointing 17th place finish last year, resulting in relegation. They have shown a continuation of struggles while playing away, with 3 wins, 4 draws, and 8 losses recorded in their last 30 matches as visitors; in contrast, they managed 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 losses at home. Holstein Kiel arrives after a 0-0 draw against Minnesota United in their last outing. Across their last 10 matches, they have won only 2, drawn 4, and lost 4. Their defence has been inconsistent, conceding in 9 of the last 10 games, although they have found the net in 7 of those fixtures. There has been a trend towards high-scoring matches, with 19 of their last 21 games having seen over 1.5 goals and 17 exceeding 2.5 goals. They have struggled to change the outcome in any of the 7 games where they conceded the first goal.

Holstein Kiel finished the season with just 25 points in the Bundesliga, only performing worse than Bochum. They faced numerous challenges in the top tier and must now focus on rebuilding in the 2. Bundesliga. To make an immediate return to the first division, they will need to produce consistent performances, starting with a tough match away against Paderborn.
