⭐ Editorial Prediction
Paderborn enter the match in excellent form: a streak of six consecutive wins, sitting second in the 2. Bundesliga table, and a commanding victory in the previous round of the German Cup have boosted Ralf Kettemann's squad's morale. Bayer, despite being favorites and maintaining an unbeaten run, face the strain from recent Champions League fixtures and potential squad rotation. The head-to-head history also favors the visitors, but Paderborn at home are capable of putting up a fight and attempting to spring a surprise. Our prediction: total goals under 3.5 - this outcome has occurred in 7 of the hosts' last 8 matches. Leverkusen are likely to advance to the next stage, but it won't be easy - 2-1.
