- SC Paderborn 07 are third in the 2. Bundesliga table with 51 points from 27 games, 22 more than their opponents this Sunday, 14th-placed Greuther Furth, who have 29 from the same number of games.
- Ralf Kettemann has got Paderborn playing at a higher tempo since he took over in July 2025, using high-octane pressing to force opponents into mistakes and create overloading situations in the wide areas.

- Paderborn have only been beaten three times in 13 away league games this season, drawing four and winning six of them.
- They have conceded only 12 on their travels, while Greuther have let in 26 in 13 home games.
Greuther Furth

- Heiko Vogel’s men are organised and can be effective on the break, particularly if they can get their best player, Noel Futkeu, into the game.
- Futkeu is a 12-goal striker from 27 2. Bundesliga appearances and has three assists in the last five games.
- His team are unbeaten in three at home, with two wins and a draw.
