Paderborn host Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday, and everything points towards goals at both ends rather than a stubborn afternoon at the Home Deluxe Arena.
Newly promoted Paderborn have plenty to prove. Ralf Kettemann's side have won just one of their last five in all competitions, though last weekend's goalless draw at Borussia-Park showed real fight.
Eintracht Frankfurt arrive off back-to-back wins over Hamburg, and the Paderborn vs Eintracht Frankfurt betting odds make Die Adler narrow favourites at 11/8 with Betway.
In all competitions, Paderborn have won their last 3 home meetings with Frankfurt, so the visitors cannot treat this as a routine trip.
Paderborn vs Eintracht Frankfurt Form
Paderborn have failed to win 21 of their last 23 matches in the Bundesliga, which tells you the size of the task. The point at Borussia Mönchengladbach was a stubborn shift, but it followed a 1-0 DFB-Pokal exit against VfB Stuttgart. Steffen Tigges is the reference point up front and steps in with Marvin Pieringer doubtful.
Eintracht Frankfurt have real momentum after back-to-back 3-1 wins over Hamburg, first in the DFB-Pokal and then in the Bundesliga, a result that lifted them into the top half. Younes Ebnoutalib has scored in two of his three most recent Bundesliga outings, though Jonathan Burkardt is pushing to start ahead of him.

Paderborn vs Eintracht Frankfurt Bet Builder
Our Paderborn vs Eintracht Frankfurt bet builder tips combine Younes Ebnoutalib on target, a goal-heavy game, a Sven Michel card and Can Uzun shooting, priced at 11/1 with Bet365.
Younes Ebnoutalib has hit the target at least once in each of his 5 most recent league outings. Jonathan Burkardt may start ahead of him, but the striker only needs minutes to threaten.
There have been 4+ goals scored in 6 of Eintracht Frankfurt's last 8 Bundesliga matches. Over 3.5 goals fits the open, direct way both sides go about things.
Sven Michel has been cleared to feature, and Eintracht Frankfurt seem to bring out his combative side: he has been booked four times across six Bundesliga games against them. Against quick, mobile attackers, another card feels well within reach.
Can Uzun has attempted 2+ shots in five of his latest six matches. Operating centrally behind the striker, he gets the ball in the right areas to keep pulling the trigger.

Paderborn vs Eintracht Frankfurt Talking Points
Hütter has said his side must find creative solutions against Paderborn's aggressive press, while Kettemann has described Frankfurt's attacking options as quick, mobile and fluid in the final third. That sets up an open, messy contest rather than a cagey one. Paderborn's outlet is obvious: they are strong in the air and happy to go long, and Frankfurt are preparing to contain Steffen Tigges's physical presence from the opening whistle. The striker has landed at least one effort on target in four of his previous five league games. At the other end, Frankfurt's weakness defending set pieces hands Paderborn another route to goal.
