Paderborn and Wolfsburg meet for the second time in a week as they compete for a place in the German top flight in Monday's Bundesliga relegation play-off (7:30pm BST, live on Amazon Prime PPV).

Read on for my Paderborn vs Wolfsburg predictions, after running through the latest odds and team news at time of publication.

Paderborn vs Wolfsburg Odds

Paderborn are 9/4 to win the match, despite being at home, with the draw 13/5. Wolfsburg are 11/10 favourites as they look to stamp their authority against a second-tier side.

Paderborn are available at 5/4 to score the first goal, while over 2.5 goals is priced at 4/5.

Team News

Paderborn defender Calvin Brackelmann was able to start the first leg after shaking off an ankle injury and he should be fit to start once again.

Mika Baur missed the first leg through suspension and will be pushing for a return in midfield.

Wolfsburg midfielder Vinicius Souza should return from suspension after missing the first leg, while Patrick Wimmer, Jonas Wind and Maxi Arnold are doubts with injury.

Double Chance - Paderborn/Draw @ 8/11

Paderborn can count themselves unlucky this season after narrowly missing out on automatic promotion.

The second-tier club have built their success in recent weeks on their home form and they have only lost one of their last 10 games in front of their own fans.

Ralf Kettemann's team did tremendously well to avoid defeat in the first leg and if they can secure a draw away from home, they can certainly follow that at the very least in front of their own fans.

Wolfsburg are unbeaten in three away matches, but before their improved results, they had gone eight games without a victory on their travels.

Over 2.5 goals @ 4/5

The first meeting between the pair was a cagey and nerve-wracking affair, but the second leg should follow a different script.

At least four goals have been scored in each of Paderborn's last four games at Home Deluxe Arena, while over 2.5 goals has landed in nine of their last 10 home matches.

Wolfsburg will not go down without a fight, having scored 10 goals in their last five away matches in the Bundesliga.

With Paderborn plying their trade in the division below, Wolfsburg will look to be the latest team to have success at Home Deluxe Arena in front of goal.
