SC Paderborn hosts SC Freiburg for first Bundesliga home game

SC Paderborn prepares for its first Bundesliga home match at the Home Deluxe Arena since 2020 following a promotion last season. The team enters the fixture after securing a point in a goalless draw against Mainz last weekend, a performance highlighted by the play of goalkeeper Nahuel Noll. Paderborn must navigate several player absences, with Timur Gayret, Nyamekye Awortwie-Grant, Lasse Eickel, Sven Michel, Felix Götze, and Sebastian Klaas all unavailable. Visiting side SC Freiburg arrives after a 4-1 victory against Werder Bremen, led by a hat-trick from Yuito Suzuki. Julian Schuster’s squad has maintained momentum with successful UEFA Conference League qualification matches earlier this season. Freiburg will be without Patrick Osterhage and Florent Muslija for the trip as they look to secure a second consecutive league victory.
