Paderborn 07 vs. Kaiserslautern Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Paderborn 07 and Kaiserslautern, taking place on Friday, 17 February 2023, at Home Deluxe Arena in Paderborn.
Paderborn 07, Recent Form
Paderborn 07 will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 4-3 win in their away outing against Hannover 96. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 9 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 12 shots on goal.
Lukas Kwasniok will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 10 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games. It's been rare for their fans not to have had something to shout about this season, with their team scoring in 9 out of 10 home games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Paderborn recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
When home matches come round at Home Deluxe Arena, Robert Leipertz will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 6 goals in Paderborn 07's last 6 home league matches.
Kaiserslautern, Recent Form
The 1-0 away defeat to St. Pauli will not have sat easily with the Kaiserslautern squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. They came away from that fixture with a 34% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 0 on target, in comparison to St. Pauli, who managed 18 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
With 12 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, their manager Dirk Schuster will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 6 goals in the same period. Chalking up goals on the road is something their fans have become accustomed to, with them hitting the net in 5 of their last 6 matches. Unable to deliver a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games, it's fair to say they have their troubles at the back.
They have had an excellent run of form recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 games. They've had a reasonably strong start to the season away from home being unbeaten in 9 of their 10 league games on the road.
Terrence Boyd will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Kaiserslautern.
Paderborn 07 vs. Kaiserslautern Head to head
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Kaiserslautern who ended up empty-handed, losing 0-1 to Paderborn 07.
Playing at home in the league, Paderborn have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 matches against Die roten Teufel. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Home Deluxe Arena, Paderborn have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. When FCK are away to Paderborn in the league, they know how to find the net, with 6 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2 per game. In their past 5 meetings, FCK's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Paderborn will have to take their chances when they come.
In the last 2 league meetings between the teams at Home Deluxe Arena, FCK has taken all 3 points and has not lost away to Paderborn in 6 games.
