Final score: Borussia Dortmund 3–0 SC Paderborn 07
Match preview
Borussia Dortmund host SC Paderborn 07 at the Signal Iduna Park this Saturday in a Bundesliga clash where the hosts will be desperate to re-establish their dominance. Dortmund, despite a strong season overall (63% win rate), have hit a rocky patch, losing three of their last five outings. This dip in form will be a concern for Edin Terzic’s side, who have otherwise been prolific in front of goal with 65 strikes.
Paderborn, meanwhile, arrive with a decent 53% win rate, showing resilience throughout their campaign. Their recent form is more balanced, with two wins, a draw, and two losses in their last five. Historically, this fixture has seen goals galore, with Dortmund often emerging victorious, though Paderborn did snatch a 3-3 draw and a narrow 3-2 defeat in recent encounters, suggesting they can trouble the favourites. The bookmakers see a Dortmund win or a draw as equally likely, highlighting the potential for an upset if Dortmund fail to rediscover their rhythm. Keep an eye on Dortmund's attacking prowess against Paderborn's often leaky defence, which has conceded 43 goals this season.
