Matchday 34 in the 2. Bundesliga sees Karlsruher play host to promotion hopefuls Paderborn at BBBank WildPark. Karlsruher are in ninth place in the league standings, while Paderborn are in fourth. Let's head into the match prediction.
Karlsruher finished in fifth place last season in the 2. Bundesliga. In the current campaign, the bar has been set low as they are destined for a mid-table finish.
Christian Eichner's men were on a three-match winless run in the league, recording two losses and one draw. Since then, they have gone six games without defeat, picking up three wins and three draws.
KSC's defense was caught napping twice when they salvaged a point in a thrilling 2-2 away draw against Jahn Regensburg. This was a mirror display from their prior match against Kaiserslautern.
Paderborn are sitting outside the top-three in the league standings. However, they are very much in the conversation of securing a promotion spot.
The visitors have also seen some improvements in their league performance after losing three straight. They are unbeaten in their last four games (W3, D1).
On Saturday, they came from a goal down and beat Magdeburg 2-1 in front of their home crowd. This extended their winning streak to two matches.

Paderborn are favorites with bookmakers to secure maximum points away from home. They have the joint-third best away record in the league. However, there's reason to suspect they'll struggle here, having failed to win their last two encounters in this fixture. Our Karlsruher v Paderborn prediction: Karlsruher or X.
