Full-time: Paderborn 2-4 Schalke
Schalke reward themselves with a 4-2 away victory against the league leaders - their best performance under Kees van Wonderen. The visitors remarkably shrugged off both goals they conceded and continued to dictate the direction of play for almost the entire match. Paderborn, on the other hand, didn't get the lift from their goals that they would've hoped for, and struggled to find their rhythm.

Bachmann with the decisive moment!
Schalke pushed for the decisive goal and there it is! Seguin takes a free-kick from the left corner of the penalty area, initially hitting it rather uninspiringly into the wall. Then he gets a second chance, crosses to the far post, where Bachmann reacts quickest and heads it into the right corner. 4-2 to the visitors!

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.

Brilliant from Heekeren! Schalke's goalkeeper catches a corner and immediately launches the ball over the halfway line. Aydin serves it to Antwi-Adjei with pinpoint accuracy. He storms into the penalty area on the right, rounds Schubert, but then hits the side netting from a very tight angle.

Karaman gets his brace!
An inconspicuous free-kick from inside the Paderborn half puts Schalke back in the lead! Seguin delivers from the left with good pace and height into the centre. Karaman rises between two Paderborn players and flicks the ball on with his head into the right corner. Nothing former Schalke keeper Schubert can do in the Paderborn goal.

Different side to Paderborn

Half-time: Paderborn 1-2 Schalke
Even after conceding, Schalke showed no signs of uncertainty. On the contrary, the visitors have been more convincing in their play than ever before under Kees van Wonderen. Paderborn appear impressed by their showing and themselves have been particularly disappointing in attack.

Karaman gives Schalke the lead!
This goal was coming! Murkin wins the ball decisively at the halfway line, then sends Karaman towards the penalty area. Schalke's top scorer looks up, but then decides to do it himself.

Two changes
Aydin and Seguin start in place of Grüger and Kalas, who were in the starting lineup last week. This means Schalke remain yet to field the same starting eleven in consecutive matches this season.
Unchanged SCP
Paderborn field the same starting eleven as they did in last week's victory against Elversberg.
Schalke starting XI:
Heekeren - Bulut, Aydin, Kamiński, Murkin - Seguin, Schallenberg - Sylla, Bachmann, Younes - Karaman
Paderborn starting XI:
Schubert - Curda, Götze, Brackelmann - Obermair, Bilbija, Castaneda, Zehnter - Kostons, Baur - Ansah
Lukas Kwasniok's thoughts
"We want to reach our maximum potential to secure the three points. Currently, there's a winning mentality noticeable in our team. Especially in light of our success, we must remain humble and diligent."
Kees van Wonderen's thoughts
"Paderborn are a well-organised team. They're the squad with the best running stats. They have a system that they can implement effectively week in, week out."
Paderborn local in Royal Blue
Ron Schallenberg is a Paderborn native, spending 12 years with the local club and also wearing the captain's armband. In 95 second-tier matches for Paderborn, Schallenberg scored seven goals.
Three's a crowd
The last team these two met at either of their home grounds ended in a 3-3 draw. Paderborn therefore scored three in each clash with Schalke in 2023/24 without losing.
Familiar faces for Schalke
Felix Platte, once a German champion with Schalke's U19s alongside Leroy Sané and with a UEFA Champions League appearance against Real Madrid to his name, scored the crucial opening goal in last term's 3-1 victory.
Previous home meeting
The last time Paderborn hosted Schalke, they prevailed for the first time in eight head-to-head fixtures courtesy of a 3-1 triumph.
