Club Friendlies 3

Preussen Munster team overview
Last season, Preussen Munster barely escaped the relegation playoff, but this year, it could be another tough year for the team from Preussenstadion. Alexander Ende's team had a solid preseason, but last week in the opening round, Preussen Munster lost 3-2 on the road against Karlsruher. The guests had ball possession on their side (68%), but the home side had much better xG stats, so Preussen Munster stayed empty-handed.
Preussen Munster have problems with missing players. They will be without Oscar Vilhelmsson, Leon Tasov, Niko Koulis, Jakob Korte, and Mikkel Kirkeskov. Also, Antonio Tikvic, Yassine Bouchama, and Marcel Benger are questionable.

Paderborn team overview
Paderborn are probably a mid-table team this season. However, they had a few interesting transfers this summer, and everything is possible. After being undefeated in the preseason, Paderborn started 2. Bundesliga with a 2-1 victory at home against Holstein Kiel. The home side ended the match with an xG of 1.29, while the guests had 0.43, so it is no wonder that Paderborn picked up all three points.
David Kinsombi, Sven Michel, Ruben Muller, and Joel Vega Zembrano are injured and will not play on Friday in Munster. Also, Luis Engelns is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
