Paderborn and Bayer Leverkusen are set to lock horns at Home Deluxe Arena in the second round of the DFB Pokal. This marks the second meeting between these two sides in this competition, with Leverkusen winning both encounters. Here's our match prediction.
Paderborn are mounting a serious promotion charge for the Bundesliga. After ten games, the team occupies second place with 23 points and are one point adrift of the top spot.
Ralf Kettemann's men have lost one of their last 11 matches in the 2025-26 season and come into this match riding a six-match winning streak. During this period, they scored 13 goals. Their recent match ended in a 2-1 away victory over SG Dynamo Dresden in the 2. Bundesliga.
In the first round of the DFB Pokal, the home team saw off the threat of a wasteful Viktoria Koln, securing a 3-1 away victory.
Bayer Leverkusen are in fifth place in the Bundesliga table after eight games and are two points behind second-placed RB Leipzig.
Die Werkself have lost two of their last 12 matches in the 2025-26 season. Their recent outing was a comfortable 2-0 home league victory against Freiburg. This result acted as consolation for their prior 7-2 thrashing at the hands of PSG in the UEFA Champions League.
In the first round of the DFB Pokal, Kasper Hjulmand's men condemned fourth-tier side Grossaspach to a 4-0 home defeat.

Our Paderborn vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Paderborn's form has been impressive, and that's not up for discussion. However, there's reason to believe they'll struggle in this clash. They are winless in their last six competitive matches, with five of those outings resulting in defeat.
Bayer Leverkusen came close to reaching their fifth DFB Pokal final but suffered a 2-1 defeat against Arminia Bielefeld. In the current edition, the visitors will hope to fare better this time around. Given that they've won two consecutive matches against Paderborn in the DFB Pokal, another win is undoubtedly on the cards. Our Paderborn vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction: Bayer Leverkusen wins.
