History to be made? In Bundesliga 2, the Lions have only won one game at home against Kiel, with that victory coming 46 years ago. On the opening day of the 1980/81 campaign, Braunschweig ran out 2-0 winners against the Storks. Incidentally, that win set the tone for a campaign in which the Lions earned top-flight promotion.

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 7 fixture between Eintracht Braunschweig and Holstein Kiel.

Three minutes of stoppage time indicated Paderborn almost have their first win of the season in the bag!

Little sign of a comeback Hoffenheim keep moving the ball around and Asllani has a shot that goes out for a throw-in. Paderborn are staying firm and letting few big opportunities through their defence.

Conté hits the post Hoffenheim keep on looking for a goal, with Conté firing a shot from outside the area that clips the left post.

Late changes Can the experience of Kramarić inspire a late comeback? The Croatian is brought on along with Asllani for the final ten minutes.

Hoffenheim hunting The visitors want to force a way back into this, but Paderborn are defending very capably right now.

Another change Felix Götze, younger brother of 2014 World Cup-winning hero Mario, is introduced for the final phases.

Philippe's effort denied by Baumann Philippe, just brought on moments ago, gets on the end of Ulrich's pass following Tigges' build-up work. His shot is kept out by Baumann.

Pair of changes for Paderborn Ralf Kettemann is hoping to see out what would be his side's maiden Bundesliga win of the season.

Tigges restores the lead! Paderborn pounce against the run of play! A long ball is hoisted forward that Tigges holds up brilliantly before it is worked around the area and crossed back in for him from Sticker, before he guides it past Baumann with a brilliant header.

⚽ 69' Steffen Tigges (3-1)

Wimmer has a go More penalty area pinball as the Hoffenheim substitute has a shot blocked by his team-mate, Conté. The visitors win another corner that Paderborn can clear for now, but they are under the cosh, with over 20 minutes remaining.

Conté goes close! Hoffenheim are pushing. Conté steers an effort on goal from within the area, and it takes a deflection before trickling just wide for a corner.

Switches all round Christian Ilzer shuffles his attacking pack with Wimmer and Lemperle coming on, before Paderborn also make a change.

Hoffenheim hunting a leveller The visitors are looking assured in possession and are bringing the ball back towards the Paderborn target.

Daghim drags Hoffenheim back in it! The visitors get on the scoresheet with a sleek passing move that takes the ball up to Moerstedt, who chases to the left and tucks the ball back inside for Daghim to slot an effort past Nahuel Noll and in.

⚽ 50' Adam Daghim (2-1)

Conté almost pulls a goal back The ball lands at the feet of Conté on the edge of the area and his powerful shot is tipped over the bar by Paderborn goalkeeper Nahuel Noll - against his parent club.

Paderborn almost pinch another Half-time substitute Tigges slips a ball behind the defence for Marino to chase, and his strike partner almost gets there - but Baumann just beats him to it.

We're back! Both sides have made a change at the break - can Hoffenheim fashion a comeback or might their midweek European trip weigh on them in the second period?

Burger booked The Hoffenheim midfielder brings down Hansen around the halfway line and gets a booking.

Paderborn double their lead! How about that! The newly promoted side extend their lead as Curda bounds away down the right and slips a perfect pass into the middle for Marino to tuck home.

⚽ 42' Stefano Marino (2-0)

Hložek heads over Coufal whips a cross in and the Hoffenheim striker heads over from a great position on the edge of the six-yard box.

Another Paderborn corner The goal has boosted the hosts' confidence, and they win possession in the Hoffenheim half before winning their fifth corner of the first half.

Paderborn pushing for another Obermair has a shot turned behind for a corner and the hosts keep circulating the ball around the Hoffenheim area for a minute or so until the visitors can clear.

Paderborn get their first goal of the season! A memorable moment for the newly promoted side as American midfielder Santiago Castaneda takes a headed clearance from a corner down on the edge of the box, turns well and sends an effort past Baumann with the help of a big deflection.

⚽ 29' Santiago Castaneda (1-0)

Paderborn dropping deeper The visitors seem on top now as the hosts sit back and soak up a spell of pressure.

Coufal cracks the post! A long throw is worked across the box and runs out to Coufal, who sends a deflected effort into the left post. Hoffenheim were so close to taking the lead...

Paderborn threaten to pounce The hosts cause more trouble on the break as Marino slips the ball through to Pieringer - who seems to go one-on-one with Baumann only for the play to be halted due to a foul.

Daghim denied The Hoffenheim attacker makes a darting run on the left but gets stopped by a fine ter Horst sliding tackle that wins the hosts a goal kick as the ball came off the Dane last.

Moments at both ends Hložek gets onto the ball in the area after an intricate Hoffenheim attacking move, but his attempt is blocked. Marino then has a chance to shoot from 20 yards out on the break and stings the palms of Baumann with a fierce drive.

Kabak blocks Obermair effort Vidović threads a pass through, but Obermair's shot from the left is blocked by Kabak and turned behind for a Paderborn corner.

Opening intent The two sides have taken turns to share spells of possession - they are both clearly determined to go into the break with a result.

We're off! The final Bundesliga match before the international break is underway.

Hoffenheim subs Philipp, Hranáč, Hajdari, Gendrey, Kramarić, De Cat, Wimmer, Lemperle, Asllani

Paderborn subs Schubert, Sticker, Müller, Götze, Baack, Zeitler, Tigges, Philippe, Michel

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 4 fixture between Paderborn and Hoffenheim.

Wide from Ebimbe Schalke hit Elversberg on the break. Ebimbe is picked out well on the right side of the pitch, but his eventual shot, from just inside the penalty area, is well off target.

Added time There will be an additional two minutes of play.

Onyeka returns After going off early against Bayern due to an injury, the Germany Under-21 international is on for a cameo appearence.

Petkov can't convert! Elversberg may not get a better chance today. Campbell skips away from Kuruçay beautifully down the left before cutting the ball back into the six-yard box. Petkov is waiting to roll the ball into the net, but his scuffed shot balloons well over the crossbar.

Campbell and Kuruçay clash The pair make contact, with the Elversberg winger coming off worse. Thankfully, both players are back on their feet.

Visitors push up the pitch Elversberg look more likely to make the breakthrough as we enter the final moments, as they are still pressing high with intent.

Both sides freshen things up Mickelson and Futkeu are on for Elversberg, with Schallenberg getting a late run out for the home side.

Double change from Schalke Summer loan signing Hee Chan Hwang comes on, alongside young defender V. Becker.

Kuruçay is there...again The Royal Blue centre-back has been everywhere today. His latest intervention is crucial, as had he not dispossessed Mokya, the Elversberg forward would have been clean through on goal.

Ebimbe tests the keeper The Schalke wing-back shoots on the half-volley from the edge of the Elversberg box. His effort is low and well placed, but Kristof does well to get behind the ball and make a fairly comfortable save.

Kuruçay picks up a yellow card The Schalke defender goes through the back of Krattenmacher and becomes the latest player to go into the ref's book.

Double save from Karius! Elversberg's Keidel pumps a free kick into the Schalke box. Petkov connects with the ball at the far post, allowing Krattenmacher to shoot from close range. Karius then makes a pair of smart reaction saves to keep the scoreline at 0-0 - before the offside flag is raised on the far side.

Katić blasts over! Aouchiche floats in a lovely free kick from around 30 yards out. Katić makes a perfectly timed run and collects the ball just outside the six-yard box, but the Schalke defender can't keep his volley down. That was the biggest chance of the half so far.

Early substitution Just six minutes into the half, Sirch is on for Elversberg, replacing Gyamerah.

Off the post! Mokwa is played in and shoots first time, with his powerful effort rattling the far post. However, he is then flagged for offside.

Second half gets going The game is back underway. Can either side find a breakthrough?

Pinckert to the rescue! It's Schalke's best attack of the half. Ebimbe finds Karaman in the middle of the Elversberg box, who in turn plays the ball to Džeko, who has a chance to score from close range. However, he takes too long to pull the trigger, and his effort is superbly blocked by Pinckert.

Pressure from the visitors Elversberg's forwards are moving the ball around sharply in the final third. In the last few moments, Schalke's defenders have made a series of big blocks from Darvich and Campbell, who are looking to test Karius at every opportunity.

Darvich booked The midfielder becomes the second Elversberg player to pick up a yellow card, after preventing Tanaka from launching a counter-attack.

Shot blocked Becker hurls a long throw into the Elversberg box. After a headed clearance, the ball drops at the feet of Tanaka, but his powerful drive at goal is well blocked.

Schalke drop back Elversberg are starting to dictate the tempo of the game. Their latest attack sees Mokwa go down inside the Schalke box under the challenge of Katić, but no foul is awarded.

Penalty appeal The ball falls to Tanaka in the Elversberg box. He dummies it, allowing Karaman to shoot just behind him, whose effort at goal appears to strike a defender's arm. However, the referee waves away the Schalke protests.

Keidel booked The Elversberg man pulls Džeko's shirt and picks up an early yellow card.

Almost an own goal! Elversberg get away with one. Karaman is played in down the right channel, and the Schalke captain whips a dangerous cross into the penalty area. Pinckert's attempted clearance very nearly ends up in his own net, but the Elversberg skipper is bailed out by his goalkeeper who makes a big save.

Game settles down Schalke are enjoying some sustained possession after Darvich's scoring opportunity. However, they're currently struggling to make inroads against an organised Elversberg side, who look dangerous on the counter-attack.

Over the top! That was a big chance for Elversberg. Campbell brilliantly drives to the byline down the left and cuts the ball back into a dangerous area. Darvich meets the ball in acres of space, but his drilled shot whizzes a yard over the crossbar. Let off for Schalke...

Elversberg finally settle After a tough first few minutes, the visitors are now starting to knock the ball around well. Petkov beats the Schalke press down the right channel and drives into the penalty area. Katić then puts the ball behind for Elversberg's first corner kick - which comes to nothing.

Gosens causing problems The summer arrival is causing plenty of issues down the left channel for Schalke. Elsewhere, the home side's press is suffocating Elversberg, who have given a free kick away in their own half.

Hosts on the front foot Schalke look fired up for this one. They've won an early corner after some good pressing from El-Faouzi. From the resulting set-piece, Džeko has a headed opportunity, but the veteran forward can't keep his effort on target.

We're underway! The ball is rolling in Gelsenkirchen. Visitors Elversberg get things going from the kick off.

Elversberg subs Boss, Mickelson, Le Joncour, Sirch, Condé, Krattenmacher, Onyeka, Futkeu, Schnellbacher

Schalke subs Müller, Ayhan, Wöber, V. Becker, Vozar, Schallenberg, Adamu, Sylla, Hwang

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 4 fixture between Schalke and Elversberg.

Closing stages We're into the final couple of minutes here.

Narrowly wide Nusa shifts the ball onto his right before smashing an effort just wide of the near post.

Visitors survive Leipzig clear a corner only as far as Quansah, who delivers back into the box. His cross finds Medina, who can only flick his header into the grasp of Vandevoordt.

Too much on it Diaby plays the ball across the six-yard area with both Maza and Kofane in great positions in front of goal, but he puts too much on the cross and sees it evade both of them.

Sliced wide Maza drives at the Leipzig defence before cutting back to Schick. He takes the shot first time, slicing it wide of the far post.

Schick denied! Maza slips in Schick inside the box, whose finish is smothered by the onrushing Vandevoordt.

⚽ 57' Miguel Gutiérrez (2-0)

Blazed over Diaby breaks away down the right before cutting back to Maza inside the box, who snatches at his first-time shot and sees it fly well over the bar.

Hosts pushing Diaby tries to slip in Moreira down the left side of the box but Baku recovers to clear the danger, moments after Fernández had almost found the run of Diaby with a lofted pass.

El Aynaoui tests Flekken He bends in an effort from outside the area, which Flekken punches behind for a corner that Leverkusen manage to clear.

We're back! The second-half is underway.

⚽ 44' Patrik Schick (1-0)

Chance for Diaby! Schick fires an effort toward the far bottom corner from the left of the box which Vandevoordt parries into the path of Diaby, but the winger slices his volley well over the bar with a clear sight of goal.

Leipzig looking threatening The attacking momentum is swinging their way as the half draws to a close.

Saved by the flag Leverkusen breathe a sigh of relief as Nkunku's goal is disallowed for offside.

The visitors lead! Rômulo drives down the right side of the box after a pass from Gomis before squaring for Nkunku to poke home from point blank range.

Glanced wide Nusa cuts inside before lifting a cross toward Rômulo at the back post, whose flicked header bounces harmlessly past the far stick.

In comes Gomis Leipzig are forced into an early change, with Gomis coming into their attack in place of Gruda.

Gruda down He hits the deck with some discomfort, and it looks like he'll be immediately replaced.

Dragged wide Gruda tries his luck from range but can only drag his tame shot well wide of goal.

Chance goes begging Quansah bends a brilliant cross into the area, where both Gutiérrez and Moreira manage to miss the ball at the back post.

Banzuzi from range He has a clear sight of goal and gets the ball out of his feet before driving a low effort goalward, which is saved by Flekken and then gathered at the second attempt.

Cautious start The early tempo has been rather slow as both sides try to figure each other out.

Early possession The hosts are dominating the ball in these opening minutes.

The action begins! Leipzig get the ball rolling.

Leverkusen subs Blaswich, Badé, Hofmann, Andrich, Tillman, Terrier, Vázquez, Boniface, Kofane

Leipzig subs Nyland, Koné, Klostermann, Finkgräfe, Henrichs, Seiwald, Maksimović, Gomis, Konaté

Hello and welcome! Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 4 fixture between Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig.

Three minutes of injury time Will there be a winning goal here?

Tactical foul After a loss of possession by Mhamdi, Kerber has to hold back Wörl.

What a goal-saving tackle! The ball comes in low from the left flank into the penalty area, where Boakye would have been on hand from close range. Heule makes a superb sliding tackle just in the nick of time!

Strong performance Heule has already been put under pressure in 16 situations and was mostly able to handle them well. He is rarely unsettled.

Double substitution Two fresh legs are coming onto the pitch. Kerber for the midfield and Mhamdi for the attack.

Off Target A corner from Handwerker is punched clear by Dähne outside the penalty area. There, Boakye takes the ball first time, but pulls his shot to the right.

Just under ten minutes to go Neither side is taking any great risks at the moment.

Heidenheim make another change The visitors bring on academy product Wagner for Hennrich, who put in a strong performance overall.

That was close! The subsequent free kick delivery from Hennrich lands on the head of Niehues, who gets completely free for the header! Bielefeld are lucky that the header flies just over the crossbar.

Tactical foul Großer stops Kaufmann on the touchline.

Bielefeld are on top The hosts have shown significantly more composure in their play since equalising.

Heidenheim make substitutions as well Vogt and Conteh are being taken off, having not been as active in the second half. Kaufmann and Honsak are brought on to reinvigorate the attack.

Quiet Phase Heidenheim are pressing forward, but the drive towards goal from the first half has been missing since conceding the equaliser.

Bielefeld make changes Arminia are now bringing a lot of pace into the game with Young and Boakye. Min and Momuluh have left the pitch.

Double booking Before a corner kick, Grodowski and Schöppner clash with each other and both pick up yellow cards.

The goal stands The video assistant has reviewed the incident once more, checking whether there was a foul against Hennrich during Min's winning of the ball. However, the decision stands and it's 2-2!

⚽ 55' Felix Hagmann (2-2)

No problem for Dähne A cross from Russo lands right in the arms of the goalkeeper.

Bielefeld keep the ball moving The hosts are trying to gain some composure.

Lucky escape for Bielefeld! Kersken plays the ball to Wörl in his own penalty area and Bielefeld lose possession. The ball falls to Vogt, who has plenty of space. However, Kersken is on hand to save the shot.

The second half is underway Kirch has reacted to the first half and made a double substitution straight away. Koudossou and Rochelt have stayed in the dressing room. Hagmann and Jensen are now on the pitch.

⚽ 45+3' Paul Hennrich (1-2)

Corner for Heidenheim Will they score before the break?

Three minutes of injury time Can Arminia hold on until half-time?

No danger Hennrich shoots from distance, but it's well over the bar.

Unbelievable! Heidenheim really should have scored again! Hennrich is played in on the left side of the penalty area and has plenty of space. The shot aimed at the far corner flies just narrowly past the right post!

⚽ 30' Budu Zivzivadze (P) (1-1)

Penalty awarded! Bauer is late with a sliding tackle on Zivzivadze, and Heidenheim are awarded a penalty for the foul!

Nervy moments After a cross, Busch attempts to head the ball back to Dähne, who can just about claw it away to prevent an own goal.

First booking for Heidenheim as well Mainka plays on after a foul has been called in favour of Bielefeld.

First Booking Hennrich delays the game by introducing a second ball onto the pitch during an opposition throw-in.

What a save! The visitors are dangerous again. Conteh plays a low pass into the penalty area to Zivzivadze. With his back to goal, he turns and gets a shot off. Kersken stretches himself out and just manages to claw the ball out of the right corner.

Another chance! Conteh makes a good run down the left flank and plays a low ball to the far post. However, Vogt arrives a step too late.

Almost an immediate response! Busch delivers a low cross from the right into the centre. Zivzivadze slides past the ball, but Heule has plenty of space in the penalty area. He is unable to take advantage of it though and shoots too high. That was a big chance!

⚽ 13' Joel Grodowski (1-0)

Heidenheim grow stronger In the last few minutes, the visitors have established something of a foothold in the opposition's half.

Strong counter-attack The visitors transition quickly and Dähne plays a long ball. In the end, Zivzivadze feeds Hennrich on the right side at the edge of the penalty area, who sets the ball onto his left foot. The curling shot towards the far post flies just wide.

The defence holds firm Grodowski delivers a cross from the left to the far post, where Momuluh looks to lay it off into the middle. However, Heidenheim manage to clear the ball away.

Intense start The two sides have skipped the feeling-out process at the beginning.

Dangerous! Dähne takes too long on the ball and gets pressed. The goalkeeper tries to clear it, but only catches his opponent. The rebound, however, flies wide of the goal.

The match is underway! Bielefeld have kicked off.

Kick-off is imminent The teams are taking to the pitch.
