Despite starting the campaign with a defeat, Werder Bremen have responded well, going four league matches without losing, recording two wins and two draws.
Their latest result highlighted their fighting spirit, as they recovered from a late 2-0 deficit away to Borussia Dortmund to secure a 2-2 draw.
Their home form has been decent this season, having won their first two home games by scoring at least three goals.
They have also managed to score in all their league games this season but still need to improve defensively, having conceded in all their league matches this campaign.
Meanwhile, Paderborn enjoyed a positive moment before the international break by recording their first Bundesliga victory since promotion.
However, they were unable to maintain that momentum against Stuttgart last weekend, losing 2-0.
Their biggest concern has been a lack of goals, with the newly promoted side failing to score in four of their five league matches this season.
Their away form offers little encouragement either, as they are winless in their last three Bundesliga matches on the road, drawing two and losing one.
They will need a much-improved attacking performance to end that run against a Werder Bremen side growing in confidence.

Whispers predicts: Werder Bremen 3-1 Paderborn
Werder Bremen are strong favourites to collect all three points, and we predict a comfortable 3-1 victory for the home side.
The hosts hold a massive advantage in this game based on their good home form and their superior attacking quality.
They also have an edge against the away team, having defeated them three times in their last five meetings across all competitions, excluding friendlies.
Meanwhile, Paderborn will have a lot of work to do if they are to get anything out of this game, but they can take confidence in their previous scoring record against the host.
Ahead of this clash, the bookmakers have tipped Werder Bremen to win at 3/4 (1.75) at the Weserstadion.
