Paderborn will have the chance to record a third straight win across all competitions when they play host to Schalke 04 on Friday evening.
The hosts are currently favourites to win the German second tier. Lukas Kwasniok’s side sit four points clear at the top of the standings and have only lost one league game this season. They are unbeaten in five league games and will be looking to extend that record, if not take all three points, this week.
Schalke on the other hand are enduring a difficult season. The visitors sit in the bottom six with just 13 points from 14 games and have won just once in their last nine games in all competitions. Not only did they fail to win all five of their away games in that time, but they also failed to score in three of them, which makes an away win this week unlikely.
Paderborn vs Schalke 04 Betting Tips: Paderborn to win
Schalke 04 have the fourth-worst away record in this division at the moment. The visitors failed to win each of their last two games, conceding five goals in total and won once on their travels in the second Bundesliga this season.
The last meeting between Paderborn and Schalke at this ground was over a year ago and in this same competition. The Lords of the Castle won that game 3-1, with Schalke registering only two shorts on target and I fancy this weekend’s game to end similarly.

Schalke 04 team news
Ralf Fährmann will not be available to Schalke 04 head coach Kees van Wonderen this week due to injury.
Emil Højlund and Michael Langer are also sidelined with tendon and knee injuries respectively.
After the humiliating 3-0 defeat at the hands of FCK last time out, head coach Kees van Wonderen is expected to make changes to his XI, with German professional Paul Seguin among those hoping to benefit from the reshuffle.
