In the Regionalliga West fixture played on 20th November 2023, Paderborn 07 II hosted SV Lippstadt 08 with the match concluding with a 1-1 draw. Both goals occurred in the first half, but a deeper look at statistics reveals other impactful factors that defined this intriguing fixture.

Paderborn struck first at 24 minutes into the game, but SV Lippstadt was quick to equalize, only 12 minutes later. While both teams had solid chances, it was evident that ineffective final-third plays, particularly for Paderborn who failed to garner a single corner kick compared to Lippstadt's four corners as well as managing only a single offside call against them, compared to Lippstadt's four, impacted the goal scoring opportunities for both sides.

However, the match seemed to be more about surviving the physical onslaught rather than surgical attacking execution. A total of six yellow cards were shown by the referee, four of them received by the home side and two by Lippstadt. The pattern of cautioned players indicated a more aggressive and perhaps, less tactical approach employed by Paderborn, which escalated towards the second half. with three yellows shown in comparison to the sole yellow card during the first half.

The high card count culminated with a red card in Paderborn's kitty, reducing them to 10 men situation during the match. This, combined with the first-half substitution made by Paderborn, may have contributed to their lower attacking prowess in terms of corner kicks and offsides during the game.

Although both teams exhibited intent to win, the discipline statistics - yellow and red cards - were the pivotal parameters influencing the game's outcome. SV Lippstadt 08 showed remarkable balance, maintaining their cool and discipline during the game, while Paderborn 07 II faltered under pressure, indicated by their inclement fouls, exacerbated by their inability to convert their aggression into chances at the opponent's goal.

Overall, the one-to-one draw was a fair outcome given Paderborn's less refined, more aggressive approach compared to Lippstadt’s balanced composure, where the latter improved their attacking metrics but were unable to translate it into converting opportunities. Football bettors would do well to consider these disciplinary and attacking metrics in future games involving these teams.
