The SC Paderborn is determined this season of the 2nd Bundesliga to talk again in the promotion race. Trainer Lukas Kwasniok has set fresh impulses through targeted change, which helped the team to be pleasing victories in the last two games. After the 2-0 victory against Prussia Münster, a 2-0 against FC Augsburg also follows, which underlines Paderborn's defensive, which did not allow a goal in these games. Strong achievements of the Joker, especially Filip Bilbija, Casper Terho and Ilyas, have made a significant contribution to this positive development. Sure was also appointed player of the day, which emphasizes his influence on the game. Kicker reports that Paderborns managing director Sport, Benjamin Weber, the reduced number of injuries and the deeper bench of the team emphasized.

Another step to strengthen the team was carried out by Marvin Mehlem's commitment. The 27-year-old offensive midfielder changes to Paderborn and is said to act as a link. Weber describes Mehlem as a difference in the 2nd Bundesliga, who does not need a start -up time because he knows the league very well. Mehlem was previously a regular at the SV Darmstadt promotion in the 2022/2023 season, where he collected ten scorer points. In the subsequent Bundesliga season, he achieved five scorer points. His experience could be the key to the desired climb. WDR emphasizes that Mehlem moved to Hull City after his time in Darmstadt and now strives for a comeback in the 2nd Bundesliga.

The previous achievements of Paderborn this season are promising. In the last 31 games against promoters, they have only lost once, which underlines the dominance of the team in this area. The last 30 duels against promoters were designed very successfully with 18 wins and 12 draws. Additional statistics show that Paderborn in the 2018/19 season was the eighth team from the 2nd Bundesliga into the Bundesliga. The current team seems determined to repeat this success.

With the aim of gaining a foothold in the league and possibly creating the ascent, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop in the coming weeks. The mixture of talent, tactical flexibility and a motivated bank could be the decisive factor for SC Paderborn on the way to return to the Bundesliga.
