Dortmund arrive on a four-match winning streak with Serhou Guirassy on fire (4 goals, 1 assist in two games). Paderborn have failed to score in both league fixtures and face this clash with six players sidelined, exposing a severe gap in squad depth and quality. Market odds at 1.22 for a home win align with Dortmund's historical dominance at Signal Iduna Park against Paderborn. The only concern is midweek Champions League fatigue, but even with rotation, Dortmund's depth comfortably outmatches a newly-promoted side struggling to find their feet.

Dortmund have won four straight across all competitions, with Guirassy leading the line on four goals and one assist in his last two games, and their squad value dwarfs Paderborn's. Paderborn have failed to score in either league game and are missing several key players. Dortmund's midweek Champions League exertions are the main variable, but at home the three points should still be routine.
Dortmund fielded a near-full-strength side in midweek Champions League action, so fatigue could sap their defensive intensity and invite late goals
