Borussia Dortmund - Paderborn: Will Borussia extend their winning streak?

Borussia Dortmund - Paderborn: Match preview
Borussia Dortmund have made an excellent start to the new season and are currently enjoying a great run of form. Although their official season opener did not go as planned, as Dortmund lost the German Super Cup 2-1, it has been nothing but victories since then. Borussia defeated Hamburg 2-0, beat GEBK Hamburg 5-0 in the German Cup, and in the previous round, the Black and Yellows came from 0-2 down to beat Hoffenheim 3-2. Borussia also defeated Villarreal 3-2 in a UEFA Champions League match.
Paderborn returned to the Bundesliga this season. The team finished third in the second division last campaign. They managed to beat Wolfsburg 2-1 on aggregate over two matches. In their first match of the season, Paderborn defeated Phönix Lübeck 4-2 in the German Cup, but their Bundesliga start has not been particularly impressive. First came a 0-0 draw with Mainz, followed by a 0-1 defeat to Freiburg. Difficult matches lie ahead, and they will be fighting for survival in Germany's top flight.
