Full-time: Ulm 0-2 Paderborn
The visitors take a valuable three points in the end, but Lukas Kwasniok's side were made to work by an Ulm team who will rue Dennis Dressel's 50th-minute dismissal. Marvin Mehlem gave Paderborn the lead with just nine minutes to play, before Adriano Grimaldi made sure of the points at the death.

Goal probability
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal

Half-time: Ulm 0-0 Paderborn
Ulm and Paderborn go into the dressing rooms goalless. The Sparrows have had significantly more of the play, keeping the ball well in their own ranks. However, Paderborn had the better scoring opportunities; the East Westphalians could easily be leading 2-0.
Half-time

Danger
Free kick for Ulm. The ball is deflected high towards the goal off a head in the wall. Schubert tries to catch it but unsuccessfully. Max Brandt attempts to poke it in, but this time Schubert is there and parries it out for a corner.

Top save
After a long ball from Paderborn, Strompf fails to control in front of the penalty area, so the ball comes to Mehlem, who immediately shoots from 22 metres. Ortag is well-positioned and just manages to turn the ball around the post.

Cross to nowhere
This time Bilbija has the ball on the left, powers through and crosses. However, there's no one there to take advantage.
16'
Big chance
Paderborn earn their first chance, and it's a big one. Zehnter crossed from the left while in the centre, Bilbija perfectly gets free on the penalty spot. He volleys ball towards goal with his right foot and sends an effort miles over the crossbar.

Not much from Paderborn
The visitors have shown little creativity in their attacking efforts so far, and haven't even managed to get into a shooting position yet.

Shot on goal
The first one of the match that actually hits the target. Brandt strikes from 25 yards out, but it's only a tame effort that Schubert comfortably saves.

Götze intervenes
Ulm try to play a chipped ball to Higl. But Götze is alert and intercepts it.

Excellent play
Krattenmacher is sent through on the left into the penalty area. He dribbles to the byline, then turns skilfully to get past two defenders. From the left corner of the six-yard box, he tries to curl the ball into the far corner but narrowly misses the target.
4'
Almost a threat
Ulm makes their first dangerous approach to the Paderborn goal. A high, long ball from the left to the edge of the penalty area. Stoll controls it well with his chest, but he can't get past Zehnter.

Feeling each other out
Both teams are playing calmly in the opening minutes with little push forward.
Kick-off!
Four changes for Paderborn
All four changes were necessary. Manuel Riemann (red card) and Sven Michel (fifth yellow card) are suspended, Visar Musliu has transferred to Belgium, and Luis Engelns is out injured. Markus Schubert, Raphael Obermair, Felix Götze and Adriano Grimaldi come into the team to replace them.
Fresh defensive forces
Captain Johannes Reichert is on the bench today, with Niklas Kolbe starting in his place. Additionally, Romario Rösch is suspended due to five yellow cards and is replaced by Lennart Stoll.
No Telalović
The Sparrows must do without their top scorer today, as Semir Telalović, who scored four goals in the recent home match against Regensburg, is absent. Felix Higl (four goals this season) gets his first start since November in his place.
Paderborn starting XI
Schubert - Hoffmeier, Götze, Brackelmann - Obermair, Scheller, Zehnter - Terho, Mehlem - Grimaldi, Bilbija
Ulm starting XI
Ortag - Gaal, Strompf, Kolbe - Stoll, Brandt, Dressel, Keller - Krattenmacher, Batista Meier - Higl
Thomas Wörle on facing Paderborn
"We know that we're the underdogs. But that doesn't matter. If we defend better and more as a collective than we did recently, we'll be a tough nut to crack for Paderborn as well."
Lukas Kwasniok on facing Ulm
"Ulm's position in the table doesn't reflect their performances. Most of their games have always been really good."
Motivated Wörle
Ulm coach Thomas Wörle has not yet won against Paderborn in Bundesliga 2, neither as a player (one draw and two defeats with Kickers Offenbach) nor as a manager (the draw in the reverse fixture).
Only two previous encounters
Apart from the reverse fixture, there has been only one other competitive meeting. Back in August 1982, Paderborn, then known as TuS Schloß Neuhaus and playing in the second division, lost 3-1 to third-tier Ulm in the DFB Cup. Ralf Rangnick was on the pitch for the Sparrows.
Novelty
Ulm and Paderborn are playing in the same league for the first time. The first meeting this season ended in a goalless draw, which was Ulm's first point after three defeats at the start of their return to Bundesliga 2.
