Heidenheim is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while 3rd placed Paderborn is fresh off their 2-3 loss against Hamburger SV. Robert Leipertz struck first for Paderborn in the 3rd minute on a feed from Marvin Pieringer, then Robert Glatzel tied it up for Hamburger SV in the 23rd minute But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 69th minute on a goal by László Bénes. Paderborn should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches.
