Werder Bremen's unbeaten home league start meets a Paderborn side that has not scored in two league away games.

Werder are the likelier winner, but 1.75 for a home win asks more than their form justifies. Three quoted prices offer something: 1.25 for the first half not to include goals for both teams, 2.3 for both teams not to score, and 4 for the draw. Second-half and corner forecasts lean Werder's way at low confidence.

Context

Thioune said on 12 October that Senne Lynen will not play against Paderborn, with the midfielder again training individually during the international break. That removes a central-midfield option for a home fixture that follows Werder's 2-2 comeback at Dortmund. The club will reassess him in midweek, and DeichStube framed the pair's work as a comeback push rather than a confirmed return, so his availability beyond this game is still open.
- Lynen returned to individual training but was ruled out of the 17 October Paderborn fixture by Daniel Thioune.
- DeichStube reported on 11 October that Lynen and Justin Njinmah are working toward a Werder comeback.
- S. Lynen started 0 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

Thioune said on 12 October that Justin Njinmah will not face Paderborn after the attacker again trained away from the squad. Losing a forward reduces Werder's attacking rotation for a home fixture they enter on a four-game unbeaten league run. A midweek assessment will decide the next step, and the ruling currently rests on a fan-account relay corroborated only in outline by DeichStube.
- Njinmah trained individually and was ruled out of the Paderborn match by Daniel Thioune on 12 October.
- DeichStube reported on 11 October that Njinmah and Lynen are working on their Werder comebacks.
- J. Njinmah started 0 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
- N. Füllkrug started in the same position in 5 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups when J. Njinmah did not start.

Amos Pieper left the 2-2 draw at Dortmund on 9 October with a glute problem that stopped him sprinting, and Daniel Thioune said on 10 October there were no signs of structural damage. His availability for the Paderborn match stays unresolved while Werder wait on his return to training. Oskar Wójcik replaced him at Dortmund and drew praise from Thioune, giving Werder cover, but losing a centre-back would still reshape the back line.
- Pieper was replaced early against Dortmund with a glute issue that prevented him from sprinting.
- Thioune said there were no indications of structural injury and expected him back in training on Tuesday.
- A. Pieper started 5 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

Niclas Füllkrug equalised in the 90+2 minute at Dortmund on 9 October, his first goal against his former club and a fourth successive Bundesliga match scored in. The run makes him the reference point of Werder's attack for the Paderborn home game. The streak is a finishing statistic rather than a measure of team control, and that same Dortmund match had Werder needing late goals after conceding twice.
- Füllkrug scored in a fourth straight Bundesliga game with the 90+2 equaliser at Dortmund on 9 October.
- It was his first goal against Dortmund, a club he previously played for.
- N. Füllkrug started 5 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
