Players to watch
Younes Ebnoutalib is the name that stands out on the visitors’ side. He is Eintracht Frankfurt’s top scorer in the Bundesliga this season with 6 goals, accounting for 6 of the 13 league goals his team have scored. Paderborn’s defence, which has conceded 9 times in 8 league matches, will need to keep him quiet.
How the two sides tend to play
The numbers point to a contrast in style. Paderborn’s league matches have tended to be low on goals at both ends: 6 scored and 9 conceded in 8 matches. Their last 5 matches underline that pattern. They scored in only 2 of them, but they also kept a clean sheet in 2, and both teams found the net in just 1.
Eintracht Frankfurt’s games have been far more open. With 13 goals scored and 18 conceded in the league, their matches have produced goals at a higher rate. In their last 5 matches they scored in 3, kept a clean sheet in 1, and both teams scored in 2.
The visitors’ defensive record away from home is the clearest area of concern for them, with 11 goals conceded in 4 away matches. Paderborn, for their part, have been even at home, scoring 4 and conceding 4. How Paderborn’s modest scoring rate measures up against a Frankfurt side that has shipped goals on the road is likely to shape the contest.
