On Sunday afternoon, Greuther Furth and Paderborn go head-to-head at the Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer in the duo’s opening match of the 2023/24 2. Bundesliga season.
Greuther Furth
The home side endured an underwhelming campaign in the 2. Bundesliga last season, finishing 12th place in the table and collecting just 41 points.
However, the home team will head into this game in positive mood after an encouraging pre-season, which included a three-game unbeaten run.
Last time out, Furth held Premier League Liverpool to a 4-4 draw. Incredibly, their previous pre-season game against Polish outfit Gornik Zabrze also produced the same scoreline.
One positive for Greuther Furth to build upon from the end of last season was their home form in the German second tier.
They were relatively difficult to beat on home soil in 2. Bundesliga, losing just one of their last 14 league matches on home soil.
Paderborn
The visitors finished slightly higher up the 2. Bundesliga table than their hosts last season, finishing sixth place. They will be looking for a higher finish this time around.
They ended last season with an inconsistent run of league form, as Paderborn won just one of their final four matches in the 2. Bundesliga.
Their late-season matches in the German second tier at least provided entertainment value, as six of their last seven matches in the 2. Bundesliga produced over 2.5 goals.
Paderborn has experienced a highly positive pre-season campaign, as they have recorded four straight victories while scoring at least two goals in each of the wins.
The most impressive win in their four pre-season games was a 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Greuther Furth will take their decent pre-season form into this clash and claim a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
