Schalke 04 welcome Paderborn at VELTINS-Arena, Gelsenkirchen on Saturday, Apr 3 at 3:30 PM in a Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Schalke 04 come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 2D 1L). Paderborn travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours Schalke 04 here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Paderborn, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Paderborn won 2–3. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.4 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Schalke 04 a slight edge, but Paderborn are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
