Paderborn and Hamburger SV meet with identical home and away records, but differing recent form and defensive numbers shape the key pre-match question.
Before kickoff
A provisional table gap, but contrasting recent sequences
Before Saturday’s Bundesliga regular-season round 7 meeting, SC Paderborn 07 are provisionally #16 with 5 points from 6 games, while Hamburger SV are #9 with 9 points from 6 games. Hamburger SV are 4 points ahead of Paderborn. The match starts at 13:30 UTC at Home Deluxe Arena.
The six-match form samples point in different directions. Paderborn’s sequence, listed most recent first, is Draw, Loss, Loss, Win, Loss, Draw. Hamburger SV’s is Loss, Loss, Loss, Win, Win, Win, so their three most recent results are defeats despite the three wins earlier in the sample.
Home and away numbers offer a narrow comparison
Paderborn’s home record this season is 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses, with 3 goals scored, 4 conceded and 0 clean sheets. Hamburger SV’s away record is also 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses, but includes 3 goals scored, 9 conceded and 0 clean sheets. Both sides therefore have an opening to improve defensively.
Absences and established setups
Paderborn list N. Awortwie-Grant, O. Batista Meier and T. Gayret with knee or ankle injuries, while M. Hoffmeier and S. Klaas are listed with muscle injuries. Hamburger SV list N. Remberg with a knee injury and M. Vuskovic with Doping. Paderborn’s most-used formation is 3-1-4-2, used in 3 matches; Hamburger SV’s is 3-4-2-1, used in 4.
Will either side record its first clean sheet of the supplied home or away season sample?
