Paderborn didn't have too many chances to fight for the promotion spot in the previous season, as they belong to the mid-table. Most pundits see Paderborn again only as a mid-table team, but after the first round and a brilliant 2-1 win on the road against Hertha, maybe some change their mind. The guests came to that match as underdogs, but they created more than enough goal-scoring chances to get all three points from the team, which is considered one of the best in the division.
Darmstadt played in the Bundesliga last season, but after only 17 points in 34 league rounds, they were relegated to the league where Darmstadt spent most years in the previous decade. Darmstadt came into the 2024/25 season, probably as a top-half team. However, in the opening round last weekend, Torsten Lieberknecht's team lost 2-0 at home against Dusseldorf. The guests almost doubled the home team's xG stats, so it is no wonder that Darmstadt suffered the first defeat in the season.
Paderborn vs Darmstadt pick: Paderborn to win
These two teams are probably similar, but Paderborn started the season much better, so they should have an advantage in the upcoming tie against Darmstadt.

Paderborn team news
It is still too early in the season, but Paderborn already have problems with injuries. Mattes Hansen's absence is certainly the most important, as the 20-year-old defensive midfielder showed in the previous season that he is one of the most talented players in his position in the division. Paderborn will also miss Arne Schulz, Felix Platte, and Calvin Brackelmann in the upcoming tie.

Darmstadt team news
Darmstadt's Othmane El Idrissi got a red card late in the previous match, so he will serve the suspension in the next round. Besides El Idrissi, Darmstadt will be without injured Alexander Brunst and Fabian Holland for the weekend, while Braydon Manu is questionable to play, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
