In a closely contested German 2. Bundesliga match at the Home Deluxe Arena, Fortuna Düsseldorf overcame SC Paderborn 07 with a 2-1 victory. The AI had predicted a Paderborn win, making this an upset according to the model. Düsseldorf's goals came from Danny Schmidt and Dawid Kownacki (penalty), while Ilyas Ansah scored a late consolation goal for Paderborn. Despite dominating possession (55.5%) and unleashing a barrage of shots (23 total), Paderborn struggled to convert, with only 7 finding the target. A red card for Paderborn's Santiago Castaneda in the 63rd minute further hampered their efforts. Düsseldorf, while having fewer shots (8 total), were more clinical, converting half of their shots on target.
This win demonstrates Düsseldorf's resilience, building on their recent 1-0 victory over Preußen Münster, even if they did have a red card in that game too. Düsseldorf seems to be alternating wins and losses lately, showing an inconsistent form. For Paderborn, this loss continues a concerning trend, as they lost to TSV Eintracht Braunschweig (3-2) and FC Cologne (2-1). Their last win was against Kaiserslautern (5-3). The upcoming match against SV 07 Elversberg, who are in strong form with recent wins, will be a tough test.
Historically, matches between these two teams have been closely contested. In the previous five head-to-head games, Paderborn has won three times and Düsseldorf has won twice. Düsseldorf's next game is against SV 07 Elversberg, presenting another challenging away fixture. Analyzing the recent games, both teams have shown vulnerabilities defensively, making their upcoming matches crucial for solidifying their positions in the league. Paderborn needs to improve its efficiency in front of the goal.
