Borussia Dortmund will travel away to SC Paderborn on Whit Sunday (kick-off 18:00 CET). It will be only the sixth competitive meeting between the clubs.

The match facts

  • The two teams have met only five times previously. SCP were still called TuS Paderborn-Neuhaus and were playing in the third-tier Oberliga Westfalen when they first met in a DFB Cup clash in 1985. Paderborn went 2-0 up but lost 4-2 that day. Their second cup clash in October 2014 ended in a 7-1 home victory for the Black & Yellows.
  • Borussia Dortmund have never lost a competitive meeting with SC Paderborn (W3 D2), although the East Westphalians have made life downright difficult for the Black & Yellows on occasions. In the Bundesliga, the BVB record stands at one win and two draws.
