SC Paderborn vs. Eintracht Frankfurt: Preview, Team News & Result Status | Nov. 6, 2026
Information checked: November 6, 2026, at 10:00 p.m. Indochina Time (ICT, UTC+07:00).
SC Paderborn 07 are scheduled to host Eintracht Frankfurt in Bundesliga Matchday 9 on Saturday, November 7, at Home Deluxe Arena in Paderborn, Germany. The confirmed kickoff is 3:30 p.m. Central European Time (CET, UTC+01:00), or 14:30 UTC. The match had not started at the time of this update, so there is no confirmed live score or result. The official Bundesliga fixture list and match center show the same date, venue, and kickoff.
Paderborn’s latest club preview names Timur Gayret, Nyamekye Awortwie-Grant, and Marcel Hoffmeier as unavailable, while confirming Laurin Curda is eligible despite his red card in the DFB Cup. Frankfurt’s most recent club training report said Robin Koch and Mario Götze trained individually; it did not confirm either as unavailable. A Bundesliga team-news preview lists Jessic Ngankam as out, but its projected lineup is not the final team sheet.

When is SC Paderborn vs. Eintracht Frankfurt, and what time does it start?
The game is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, 2026, at Home Deluxe Arena in Paderborn. The Bundesliga lists a 3:30 p.m. CET start in Germany, which is 14:30 UTC on the same date. Germany is on standard time in November, so the event’s offset is UTC+01:00. The match is part of Matchday 9 of the 2026–27 Bundesliga season.
The venue and start time are confirmed on the league’s fixture schedule, while both clubs also list the same 3:30 p.m. kickoff. Paderborn’s fan information says Home Deluxe Arena is sold out and that no matchday ticket office will operate. The club’s match preview expects 15,000 spectators, including 1,500 away supporters.
Where can viewers watch the match?
Broadcast rights depend on the viewer’s country. Eintracht Frankfurt lists Sky Sport and DAZN for coverage in Germany, with EintrachtFM providing club audio coverage. Outside Germany, check the Bundesliga broadcaster directory for the authorized service in your market. The official match center is available for confirmed lineups, match events, and the score.
What is the latest confirmed team news?
In its November 5 preview, SC Paderborn said midfielder Timur Gayret, defender Nyamekye Awortwie-Grant, and defender Marcel Hoffmeier would miss the game. The club said its other players were available, specifically including wing-back Laurin Curda. Curda had been sent off against VfB Stuttgart in the DFB Cup on November 4, but Paderborn’s update confirms that this does not keep him out of the Bundesliga fixture.
For Frankfurt, the club’s November 4 training report said captain Robin Koch and Mario Götze worked individually. That report did not rule either player out. The Bundesliga’s November 5 probable-team article lists forward Jessic Ngankam as out with a hamstring issue and projects Koch in its provisional XI. Those details are pre-match reporting, not a confirmed Frankfurt availability announcement or official lineup. I found no club-confirmed Bundesliga suspension affecting this fixture in the updates reviewed.
Neither team’s official starting lineup had been announced at the update time. The Bundesliga says confirmed teams are expected around 60 minutes before kickoff, so the match center is the best place to check shortly before 3:30 p.m. CET on Saturday.
How are Paderborn and Frankfurt entering Matchday 9?
Before the Matchday 9 opener, Frankfurt were eighth with 11 points from eight league matches, while Paderborn were 14th with nine points. Frankfurt had scored 13 goals and conceded 18; Paderborn had scored six and conceded nine. The two-point gap makes the meeting relevant to both teams’ position in the lower half of the table, although results elsewhere over the weekend can also move the standings.
Paderborn’s most recent league result was a 0–0 draw away to Borussia Mönchengladbach on October 31. The club then lost 1–0 to VfB Stuttgart in the DFB Cup on November 4. The league match extended Paderborn’s unbeaten Bundesliga run to three games, with one win and two draws. Frankfurt arrive after beating Hamburger SV 3–1 in the league on November 1; they had also beaten the same opponent 3–1 in the cup five days earlier.
One attacking number stands out: Frankfurt forward Younes Ebnoutalib had scored six league goals through eight rounds, matching Paderborn’s team total. Paderborn, however, had conceded only nine times. That sets up a clear matchup to watch: Frankfurt’s recent scoring form against a home side that has kept its last two league opponents from scoring. It does not guarantee a particular result.
What could shape the match?
Paderborn will try to use its home ground and defensive organization to limit the space available to Frankfurt’s attackers. Frankfurt’s pre-match assessment highlights Paderborn’s ability to press high or defend deeper, so the visitors may need to adapt rather than rely on one attacking pattern. Paderborn, in turn, will have to manage Frankfurt’s transitions after turnovers, an issue raised in the home club’s preview.
Past Bundesliga meetings offer a small but notable context: the clubs’ four top-flight encounters have all been won by the home team. That history is not a prediction, and the present squads and table situation are different. The first goal, the final team selections, and how effectively Paderborn can contain Ebnoutalib could all change the game’s shape.
What is the confirmed result?
No result is confirmed as of the timestamp at the top of this article. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday, November 7, at 3:30 p.m. CET (UTC+01:00), 14:30 UTC. Follow the Bundesliga match center for live events and the official final score after the match.
