|---|---|---|

Paderborn have made a respectable return to the top flight, showing encouraging consistency in recent weeks, having played a goalless draw with Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend.
The draw extended their unbeaten run to three league matches, but their last five games have seen only two victories, two draws and one defeat.
Home advantage could prove important for Lukas Kwasniok's side, who have collected six points from their four home games this season.
Another victory would see them claim consecutive home wins in the Bundesliga for only the second time in their history, having previously achieved that feat in 2014.
Interestingly, their 3-1 home win over Frankfurt was part of that memorable run.
Meanwhile, Frankfurt arrive two points ahead of their hosts but have struggled to build any sustained momentum, alternating between victories and defeats across their last four league games.
Their most recent result was a 3-1 win over Hamburg, and the Eagles will now be eager to follow that up with another positive result against Paderborn.
Consistency remains a major concern for Frankfurt, particularly at the back. They are among nine Bundesliga teams yet to record an away clean sheet this season.
Their away form has also been questionable, having lost their last two away games this season.
Attacking threat on the road, however, has generally been reliable, having found the net in 19 of their last 23 away league matches.
They will hope to rediscover that scoring touch against a Paderborn side that have shown considerable improvement but still have plenty to prove against top-flight opposition.
