Friday night away trips return for the Rothosen, this time around, we are hosted by the in-form SC Paderborn at the Benteler-Arena. Robert Glatzel put the side ahead in the first half which settled for the draw when a rejuvenated Fortuna, who had 10 men for a large period of the game, struck late on to level the game.
Paderborn had their chance keep their strong start to the season in tact when Jahn Regensburg visited the Benetler-Arena last weekend. This match also ended in what was a surprising top of the table clash at this stage of the season. Paderborn have experienced what many would call a relatively positive start to the 2. Liga season. The Ostwestfalen side sit fourth in the table three points ahead of HSV. Under the new regime of Lukas Kwasniok the side have got themselves into a good groove.
The former 1. Eight goals in 10 games giving a huge helping hand to the sides impressive performance. Kwasniok has built on a side that following relegation finished right in the middle of the 2.
Liga table last season into what could be a promotion chasing side. The striker starting to make a nuisance of himself to the 2. Liga defenders and proving that he can score goals at this level. Another draw was the result as the Volksparkstadion hosted its largest capacity game since the Corona Pandemic began with just shy of 40, in attendance.
Ahead of the game Tim Walter spoke about the importance of his captain and former Paderborn player Sebastian Schonlau: "He is very communicative, we have a very intensive exchange. I trust him, that's why he's the captain.
