J. Scally’s 3 Goals Meet Gladbach’s Home Test Against Paderborn

Can Paderborn exploit Gladbach’s home record?

The clearest pre-match contrast is Borussia Mönchengladbach’s home record against SC Paderborn 07’s away output. Gladbach have lost all 3 of their home games this Bundesliga season, conceding 10 goals and keeping 0 clean sheets. Paderborn have not won in 3 away games, drawing 2 and losing 1, while scoring 2 goals and conceding 5.

Two different positions in the provisional table

In the provisional Bundesliga standings, Gladbach are #18 with 3 points from 7 games, while Paderborn are #13 with 8 points from 7 games. Paderborn therefore lead by 5 points. Gladbach’s recent seven-match sample contains 6 losses and a most recent win; Paderborn’s contains 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, with a draw most recently. The result will test whether Gladbach can build on that latest victory without erasing their wider home weakness.

Scally carries the clearest listed goal threat

J. Scally is the only player listed in the scorer data, with 3 goals and 1 assist in 7 appearances for Gladbach. His involvement gives the home side’s attack a defined reference point, while Paderborn’s away total of 2 goals shows the scale of their scoring challenge.

Gladbach will be without F. Fleck, E. Leopold and J. Leszczynski, while T. Kleindienst and N. Kuhn are questionable. Paderborn will miss O. Batista Meier and T. Gayret; N. Awortwie-Grant, M. Hoffmeier, S. Klaas and G. Vidovic are questionable.

Can Gladbach turn J. Scally’s goal involvement into a first home result of the Bundesliga season?
