This is one game that has seen Paderborn bounce back somewhat nicely from the last break. However, one thing that Paderborn has not done is face as stiff of a competition as Dortmund lately. Look for that to make the difference in the game here as Dortmud is playing great and even kept the vaunted Bayern Munich offense at bay. I look for Dortmund to win the game on the over, but Paderborn may ruin any hopes of a clean sheet.
