Darmstadt 98 0-2 Paderborn result, stats and report

Paderborn ended a three-match winless run in the most convincing fashion possible, outfighting and outscoring a Hoffenheim side that dominated possession but could not turn it into goals.

VfL Wolfsburg dismantled Darmstadt 98 5-1 in a dominant 2. Bundesliga Friday night fixture, with Alexander Bernhardsson scoring twice and Robert Glatzel heading home a brace as the hosts controlled proceedings from first whistle to last.

Borussia Dortmund eased past Paderborn 3-0 at home, with Fábio Silva opening early and Felix Nmecha wrapping up the points with two late goals to continue Dortmund's strong home form.

FSV Mainz 05 dominated large portions of this Bundesliga fixture but could not convert their superiority into goals, settling for a goalless draw against a resolute Paderborn side who made four saves to protect their point.

Two sides leaking goals, lacking conviction, and running out of room to hide. Sunday's 2. Bundesliga clash at Karlsruher SC is a contest built for the desperate.

Werder Bremen host Paderborn on Saturday in a Bundesliga fixture that pits two struggling sides against each other. One of them has to win. Neither looks remotely ready to.

Paderborn have failed to score in either of their two completed Bundesliga matches. VfB Stuttgart arrive having kept a clean sheet in none of their last ten. Something has to give.
