Football betting: Paderborn vs. Kaiserslautern
The 2. Bundesliga has been very positive for me so far, which is why I approach the 4. Matchday 4. On Friday, there are two games that have a clear "over" tendency for me, but in this text I will concentrate on Paderborn vs. Kaiserslautern. Both teams are offensive and I expect an open game with a lot of attacking play. Kaiserslautern has won a very good game against Elversberg last Friday, which should still provide some momentum. Paderborn were the best attacking team last year and nothing has changed in that respect.

Paderborn on the rise
I still remember Paderborn's first game, when they got a red card in what felt like the first minute and made my 'both teams to score' prediction a lot harder. The end result was a 5-0 defeat to Fürth and I had to mark my bet red. Since then, however, things have been looking up, with last week's 2-1 win away to Düsseldorf the icing on the cake. They have also done well in the Pokal, winning 7-0 away to Cottbus, a very unpleasant opponent. Paderborn seem to have rediscovered their form from last year, although new signing Kruse is currently out with an injury.

Important win for Kaiserslautern against Elversberg
The win against Elversberg last Friday was really important and the atmosphere at the Betze was fantastic. The best man was captain ZImmer with a goal and an assist. In addition, Ragnar Ache injected some life into the attack after coming on and can finally show his potential. I like the idea of Terrence Boyd in a double role. Lautern already showed good signs in the 3-0 defeat at Schalke, and they finally got their reward against Elversberg.

My prediction for Paderborn - Lautern
As mentioned above, I expect an exciting game with an open goal. Both teams should find the net and score at least one more goal. Kaiserslautern have gone over in every game so far, while Paderborn have gone over in two out of three. The over 2.5 goals bet on this game and the Schalke - Kiel game could be an interesting combination. Kiel have scored a lot this year and Schalke are sure to attack at home. The Friday games in the 2. The highlight of the week will be the Bundesliga clash between Leipzig and 5-0 winners Stuttgart at 8.30pm.

Bet: Both teams to score + over 2,5 Goals

The best odds are with bet365: 1,83
