Paderborn challenges Leverkusen: DFB Cup duel of surprises!
On October 29, 2025, the Home Deluxe Arena in Paderborn will be the venue for an exciting DFB Cup duel. SC Paderborn will host Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the second round of the tournament and the anticipation for the game could hardly be greater. Because both Paderborn and Leverkusen bring remarkable performances into this match.
Paderborn, the second division team, has been in top form in recent weeks. With an impressive 23 points from ten games, they are in second place in the 2nd Bundesliga - just one point behind leaders Schalke 04. Coach Ralf Kettemann's team has won the last six games and has been on a scoring spree. In the last five matches, the team scored 12 goals while conceding only 5 goals. Most recently they beat Dynamo Dresden 2-1 and Arminia Bielefeld 4-3, which shows that they have really picked up pace offensively. However, Kettemann will have to do without Brackelmann and Klaas, both of whom are out due to injuries.
Leverkusen's challenges
In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen comes to Paderborn as a Bundesliga club. After a brilliant winning streak in the league, where they won four games in a row, the Leverkusen team has mixed feelings about the last Champions League game, in which they lost 7-2 to Paris St. Germain. Nevertheless, the team showed a strong performance in the first round of the DFB Cup when they beat Sonnenhof Großaspach 4-0. Their record in the last five competitive games includes three wins, one draw and one defeat, in which they scored a total of 9 goals but also conceded 13 goals.
There are already some interesting statistics to consider: In a direct comparison of both teams, Leverkusen has the upper hand with five wins from seven matches against Paderborn. Paderborn only had one win and one game ended in a draw. The goal difference of 8:17 for Leverkusen can represent a mental hurdle for the Paderborn team. But as we know, everything can go differently in the DFB Cup.
