2. Bundesliga Preview: SC Paderborn 07 vs. Dynamo Dresden | OneFootball

Paderborn will aim to return to the top three when they host an in-form Dynamo Dresden side on Saturday afternoon. Ralf Kettemann's side are dropped to fifth following Hannover's derby win over Eintracht Braunschweig on Friday, but there is a chance that they finish the matchday top of the league.

That would've already been possible if they didn't drop four points this month against relegation-threatened sides Eintracht Braunschweig and Arminia Bielefeld. Paderborn have only managed three wins from their last seven games in the ever-changing promotion race.

Meanwhile, Dresden revived their hopes of survival with back-to-back home wins. Including their sensational 6-0 victory over Preußen Münster last time out, Thomas Stamm's side have scored 12 goals in their last three games. The captain Niklas Hauptmann leads by example with successive braces, while Mainz loanee Ben Bobzien made an instant impact. As a result, Dresden started the matchday in 12th place.
