Werder Bremen’s home record and Paderborn’s away scoring figures define the key pre-match question, with the provisional table and team news adding context.

Before kickoff

Home strength against an away blank

The central question before Saturday’s Bundesliga match is whether Werder Bremen’s perfect home record can expose SC Paderborn 07’s lack of away scoring. Werder have won both home games this league season, scoring 6 goals and conceding 3. Paderborn have drawn 1 and lost 1 of their away games, scoring 0 and conceding 3. Paderborn have kept 1 away clean sheet.

Different directions in the provisional table

The provisional Bundesliga standings place Werder #7 on 8 points from 5 games, while Paderborn are #15 on 4 points from 5 games. Werder are 4 points ahead of Paderborn. SC Freiburg lead with 13 points, leaving Werder 5 points behind and Paderborn 9 points behind. The five-match form samples also favour Werder: Loss, Win, Draw, Win, Draw, compared with Paderborn’s Draw, Loss, Loss, Win, Loss.

Goal threat and team news

N. Füllkrug carries Werder’s clearest scoring threat, with 4 goals in 5 appearances. M. Grüll has added 2 goals and 4 assists in 5 appearances. Werder have most often used a 4-2-3-1, in 3 matches, while Paderborn have used both 3-1-4-2 and 3-5-2 in 2 matches each.

Werder list F. Agu, S. Alvero, S. Lynen, S. Musah, M. N’Diaye, J. Njinmah, J. Stage and K. Topp as missing, with Y. Regeer questionable. Paderborn list N. Awortwie-Grant, T. Gayret, M. Hoffmeier and S. Klaas as missing. At kickoff, can Paderborn find a way past a Werder side that has scored 6 times at home while ending its away scoring drought?
