A place in next season's Bundesliga is up for grabs on Monday when Paderborn take on Wolfsburg in the relegation play-off at Home Deluxe Arena.
The two teams played out a 0-0 draw last time out and it should mean the second leg is much more dramatic at the home of the Bundesliga 2 team.
Paderborn finished third in the German second tier, only failing to finish in the automatic promotion spots on goal difference.
Wolfsburg did just about enough to avoid relegation after the Bundesliga campaign, finishing 16th on 29 points.
As a top-tier club, they will be expected to win this play-off tie, but Paderborn look good value for an upset.

Paderborn v Wolfsburg Prediction
Best Bet: Double Chance - Paderborn or draw @ 7/10
Paderborn are just one match away from promotion glory as they look to secure their third spell in the Bundesliga.
Ralf Kettemann's side last played in the German top flight in the 2019/20 season, but they have every chance of getting a result on Monday.
The second-tier club only lost eight of their 34 games and finished the season with +14 goal difference, only three teams bettered that return.
Paderborn have avoided defeat in their last three games, while they have only lost one of their last 10 on home soil.
Holding Wolfsburg to a 0-0 draw away from home was an incredible achievement and Dieter Hecking's men may struggle to shine on the road. The Wolves won only five of their 17 Bundesliga away games and Paderborn have proven they can be stubborn in front of their own supporters.
Alternative Bet: Over 2.5 goals @ 17/20
Paderborn fans have been treated this season to a fabulous campaign and even neutrals attending their games will have enjoyed the experience.
Kettemann's side scored 32 goals and conceded 28 in second-tier games at home and their recent matches at Home Deluxe Arena have been chaotic.
Paderborn's last three games have contained a combined 16 goals with at least four in each, while over 2.5 goals has landed in nine of their last 10 on home soil.
Wolfsburg have scored in five consecutive away matches, netting 10 goals in that time. They should be able to play their part in a lively affair on Monday evening.
Paderborn v Wolfsburg Bet Builder Tip
Filip Bilbija to score
Dzenan Pejcinovic 1+ shots on target
Stefano Marino 1+ shots on target
Pays 5/1
Paderborn have leaned heavily on Filip Bilbija, who scored 15 goals during the regular campaign. He was a consistent threat in front of goal, registering 29 shots on target from 46 attempts.
Team-mate Stefano Marino will also look to get his name on the scoresheet and should register at least one shot on target. Marino leads the line for Paderborn and has recorded 21 shots on target from 52 attempts.
At the other end of the pitch, Dzenan Pejcinovic is Wolfsburg's most likely goalscorer. The German has seen 23 of his 51 shots hit the target and he will be looking to improve that on Monday.
