SC Paderborn have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of wins, a draw and a couple of losses, so they're not in perfect form but they can be dangerous. Schalke have looked a bit steadier, winning two of their last five and drawing two, which suggests they're the more consistent side right now. When these two meet, the games have usually been lively and full of goals, and the last few meetings have been close.

This one looks like a tight, open match that could go either way, but Schalke's recent form gives them a slight edge. I'd lean toward Schalke winning, though a draw is also very possible.
