Meppen vs Paderborn Prediction & Betting tips
The newcomer from Meppen meets in the catch-up match of the 25th matchday of the 3rd league on the current leaders, the SC Paderborn 07th The SV Meppen has made after the superior promotion from the Regionalliga Nord last year a quite orderly start in the third highest German league , At the beginning of the season, Meppen worked after all on the sixth place in the table. After the last victory over six weeks ago, you have fallen back to 12th place. Although the SV Meppen is missing only one point on the two front seats, but in addition you still have two catch-up games and thus the chance of an additional six points. If Meppen win against Paderborn, you will be able to rise to at least 10th place, with the chance to even overtake the Kickers from Würzburg in a catch-up game. To a relegation place you have already built up a cushion of 12 points.
For the SC Paderborn, on the other hand, it is about defending the championship lead. The 1. FC Magdeburg sits Paderbornern with a gap of only three points and a disputed game less in the neck. Paderborn therefore can not afford a defeat, especially since Wehen Wiesbaden could stay tuned in the last game by an away win with only four points difference at the sports club.
Meppen:
After the somewhat unlucky defeat against Wehen Wiesbaden in their own stadium last Saturday, they now have to face SC Paderborn the second home game against a strong opponent again. To make matters worse, that between the two games is only a small recovery phase of two days. Two of the last three home games Meppen has already lost and only the draw against the co-starter Unterhaching brought a point win in their own stadium. The SV Meppen under coach Christian Neidhart should therefore be under great pressure to finally win again a success for domestic backdrop, especially because since five games no victory could be celebrated. After suffering only three defeats in the last 17 games at home, two matches were lost in a row. The form of the SV Meppen was thus steadily falling last.
At the very least, the squad is fully committed to action and also the team’s top scorer, center-forward Benjamin, who has already scored 15 goals in 28 games, has been consistently successful in recent games. Although Meppen weakened the last three games at home, so the team of the SV at home was not entirely safe. Until the loss to Hansa Rostock Meppen had lost only one of twelve home games. We believe in the SCP and have opted for a tip for proper odds on the front runner.
Paderborn:
The SC Paderborn won all of his last three games, including two away. Since only eight games are to be played until the end of the season, it is slow for Paderborn serious in the fight for the rise back in the 2nd Bundesliga. After the two declines from the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga in the last two seasons, this success would be particularly important for the club. Before the last three wins, they had a very weak phase of six games without a win, at the beginning of two extremely painful defeats against Erfurt and the 0-6-clap in the Cup against Bayern were.
Now Paderborn seems to be caught again and to have set the course completely towards the ascent. The hard-fought 3: 2 away win over Hansa Rostock seemed to be the trigger for the positive turnaround. Especially positive for the defensive was that the last two games could each be played to zero. Away, the SC Paderborn is the best team in the 3rd league. At least the team under coach Steffen Baumgart has won three of their last five away games and lost none. The squad is fit except for the injured defender Thomas Bertels. Due to the catch-up game, however, the team has again an away game after three days, which will certainly be a bit more difficult than against Werder Bremen II.
