by Daniel Ngulu in 2nd Bundesliga Predictions
After one season in the topflight, Holstein Kiel are back in Bundesliga 2. They will start their campaign with an away match at Paderborn. The hosts finished last season in fourth place and will be keen on going a step higher. We have a prediction for this match below.
Paderborn last won this fixture in 2022, and they will be out to halt a three-match winless run against their visitors. Back then, they won 7-2, dominating this match that rarely produces clean sheets.
A painful ending to last season saw Paderborn lose 3-0 to Karlsruhe on the final day. That way, they finished three points below the promotion playoff place. After three unbeaten outings in preseason, they will feel ready for a good start.
Holstein Kiel finished their short Bundesliga return on a losing note, falling in back-to-back matches against Freiburg and Dortmund. It was much better in preseason; they were unbeaten in four matches, with three wins, and will hope to carry this into the new campaign.
This match will leave a good feeling with the visitors. They have a three-game unbeaten run to preserve here. In a corresponding fixture in 2024, they thrashed Paderborn 4-0.
That was their second straight win against Paderborn. It was also the first time in seven meetings between these two that this match had a clean sheet.

Our Paderborn vs Holstein Kiel Prediction
Both Paderborn and Holstein Kiel had unfortunate endings last season and will be gunning for flying starts to 2025/26. The last time these teams met, Holstein Kiel kept a clean sheet. Going by recent results, we don’t see this producing a clean sheet.
In six of the last seven meetings between these sides, both scored. That is the same that would be expected when two sides target a flying start – goals on both ends. The two sides had few or no clean sheets in their recent competitive matches too. Our prediction for Paderborn v Holstein Kiel is: Both teams to score.
