Overview

• SC Paderborn beat VfL Bochum 1-0 on Lucas Copado’s 90th-minute goal, handing Dieter Hecking a fourth defeat in five league games and leaving the relegated side near the bottom.
• Arminia Bielefeld downed 1. FC Magdeburg 2-0 after a brief second-half interruption caused by visiting pyrotechnics, a win that moved the promoted hosts up to second place.
• Hannover 96 remain perfect at four wins from four and are being priced by bookmakers as the leading promotion candidate on the strength of their underlying metrics.
• Heidenheim, who sold Leonardo Scienza to Southampton for about €9 million on deadline day, are doubling down on a collective approach as Frank Schmidt seeks the first points against Dortmund.
• Mainz 05 approach the Leipzig game with goalkeeper Robin Zentner doubtful and several attackers unavailable, and newcomer William Böving set for a debut after coach Bo Henriksen said he will play.
