DOR vs PDB Dream11 Match Prediction Borussia Dortmund vs Paderborn DFB Pokal 3 February

DOR vs PDB Dream11 Prediction: Borussia Dortmund takes a few days off from their arduous Bundesliga ride as they turn their attention towards the domestic cup competition. The BVB play Paderborn in the 3rd round of DFB Pokal match at their iconic Westfalenstadion on late Tuesday night (IST). Here is everything you may want to know about DOR vs PDB Dream 11 Match Prediction.
It’s not a hidden fact that Dortmund have once again failed to keep the pace up with their rivals in the title race, especially with Bayern Munich who are sitting 13 points clear of them in the Bundesliga power rankings. That’s too big a gap to overcome against a team of Bayern’s calibre, but Dortmund have a lot to play for, as even the top-four is far from secure.
For Paderborn, the wheel has come off far too early than they would have hoped for after playing in the Bundesliga last season. Any hope of making an immediate jump back into the big ship are dashed now following an inconsistent run of results.
