Dynamo Dresden vs SC Paderborn 07 Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this one. It's a tale of two teams going in completely opposite directions, innit?

Dynamo Dresden are having a right old time of it down in 16th place. They've only managed one win all season and haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 10 games. Their recent form reads like a broken record - draws, draws, and more draws. They've played out three 2-2 draws on the bounce against Preußen Münster, Karlsruher SC, and Hannover 96. They're scoring goals, alright, but they're leaking them at the back like a sieve.

Now flip over to Paderborn, and it's a different story altogether. They're sitting pretty in 3rd place with 20 points, and their form is absolutely top-drawer. Seven wins in their last 10 games, including a cracking 4-3 win over Arminia Bielefeld in their last outing. What's really impressive is their away form - they've won 60% of their away games and only concede 0.6 goals per game on their travels.

The head-to-head record is pretty even over eight meetings, but that's history, mate. What matters now is form, and Paderborn have got it in spades while Dresden are struggling to get over the line.

Dresden's home form has been shocking recently - zero home wins in their last 10 at their own patch. Paderborn, on the other hand, are proper road warriors, picking up points wherever they go.

You look at the stats and it's pretty clear. Dresden are shipping nearly two goals a game while Paderborn are banging in nearly two. The visitors have got that winning mentality, while Dresden seem happy to settle for a point.

Key Points:

• Dresden haven't won any of their last 10 home games (0%)

• Paderborn have won 60% of their away games this season

• Dresden have kept 0 clean sheets in 10 games

• Paderborn are 3rd in the table vs Dresden's 16th

• Paderborn have won 7 of their last 10 games

Sometimes you just have to follow the form, and right now Paderborn are playing like a team that belongs near the top. Dresden are fighting but just can't get that win. The visitors should have too much quality and momentum here.
