Match preview

Schalke 04 host Paderborn in the Bundesliga on 3 April 2027. Schalke 04 sit 18th on 3 points and Paderborn are 10th on 9. Schalke 04 have won 0 of their last 5 (DLLDL), while Paderborn have won 2 of 5 (WLDWD). There is no recent head-to-head record between these sides in our data. TipKhel's model gives Schalke 04 41%, the draw 24% and Paderborn 35%, so Schalke 04 are the slight favourites, with 1-1 the single most likely score. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
