Werder Bremen vs SC Paderborn 07 prediction

THE FORECAST

Werder sit mid-table with a reasonable points return and score at a rate of 2.0 goals per game, giving them a clear attacking edge over newly-promoted Paderborn who average just 0.6 goals per game. Both sides have comfortable rest windows with no rotation risk, but Werder's injury list is notably long, partially offsetting their quality advantage. The mild, lightly rainy conditions should not heavily favour either side, and Paderborn's defensive solidity (1.4 GA, one clean sheet) keeps this from being a runaway home banker.
