In tenth place going into matchdays 21 and 22: The #B04eSports team want to reduce the deficit of six points to the top six in the division. That will mean picking up as many points as possible in the early evening against SC Paderborn 07, currently next to bottom in the table – and also building confidence for the matches later on in the evening.
The opponents from 20.00 CET are Werder Bremen. The team from the Hanseatic city currently clearly head the North West division with an eleven-point lead over second-placed Hannover 96.
The matches involving the #B04eSports players will be broadcast as usual on the club's Twitch channel. HERE is the link to the channel.
