Union Berlin have been having a rough time lately. They've lost several of their recent matches, including some heavy defeats, and only managed a win once. Their last game was a goalless draw, so they'll be hoping to steady things at home. SC Paderborn are in better shape - they've picked up a couple of wins and scored twice in a recent draw, showing they can find the net and are generally the more confident side right now.

The two teams haven't met recently, so there's no history to go on. Union Berlin are struggling while Paderborn look sharper and more settled, which points toward SC Paderborn being the stronger side here. I'd expect Paderborn to come out on top.
