Overview.
Paderborn take on the reigning champions knowing that recent form spells doom, losing both home league games so far, and by a combined goal difference of -6; the worst in the Bundesliga. However, they did at least score first in both matches, doing so inside the opening ten minutes on each occasion. Strangely, the odds-on relegation favourites are also the only team in the Bundesliga to have a positive goal difference in the opening 15 minutes of their home matches. Overall in the league, five of their six goals (83.33%) have been scored in the first half.
Bayern Munich are unbeaten in the league, in a sequence that has stretched their overall unbeaten run to 19 matches. ‘Die Roten’ are also the league’s top scorers ahead of this round of matches, averaging 3.2 goals per game, on top of scoring more than one goal in 80% of their matches. The champions have the league’s best goal difference (+12) ahead of this round of matches, shipping just four league goals (at a rate of 0.80 goals conceded per game). In a stat that favours their opponents, however, all of those goals were conceded in the first half, with 75% of these being shipped between the 31st-45th minute.
