Kaiserslautern comes into their match with Paderborn with a lot going for them. Apart from being the superior side based on form and statistics, they also have the added advantage of being at home.

From what they have shown thus far this season, Kaiserslautern and Paderborn both tend to play quite defensive styles and like to keep things tight in midfield.
