The first Bundesliga “Englischer Woche” of the season sees the visit to the Allianz of new boys SC Paderborn 07, a team that would surprise everybody last season by winning promotion to the top flight for the first time in their history. The small team from eastern North Rhine-Westphalia would start the season as everybody’s whipping boys, but would get off to a great start with a 2-2 draw at home against Mainz before thrashing HSV 3-0 in their first Bundesliga game on the road.

Everyone is expecting Bayern to win this one and win easily, but Paderborn have certainly shown that they cannot be taken lightly.
