FC Koln Preview
FC Koln had 4 friendly preparation matches in these months of inactivity, where they were able to win 3 of them. This kind of matches are not very useful but that at least allow them to return with some more confidence to the domestic tournament, a competition in which have barely racked up a point in their last 5 meetings.
The home team must keep a close eye on the relegation positions, as they currently have 17 points in the overall standings, which means that they are only 4 points out of the relegation zone.
The locality may be a factor that allows them to break the bad streak they have maintained so far, this is said because they have only lost 2 of the 7 matches they have held in this condition. In addition, they are undefeated in 10 of their 11 most recent meetings with Werder Bremen.
Probable lineup (4-4-2): Marvin Schwäbe; Jonas Hector, Julian Chabot, Timo Hübers, Benno Schmitz; Florian Kainz, Dejan Ljubicic, Ellyes Skhiri, Ondrej Duda; Steffen Tigges, Davie Selke.
Werder Bremen Preview
Werder Bremen did not perform well in the last few Bundesliga matches either, losing 2 games and allowing a total of 8 goals in just 180 minutes of play. The green-and-white team is in ninth place in the standings with 21 points, far from the relegation zone, so it seems that this will not be a problem for them this season.
One of the pillars of this club has been its performance away from home, playing 7 matches so far in this condition, losing just 2 of them. In addition, Bremen usually scores goals in the last minutes of the game, scoring 5 so far in the aggregate so far this campaign.
Probable lineup (4-2-2): Jirí Pavlenka; Mitchell Weiser, Milos Veljkovic, Niklas Stark, Marco Friedl; Leonardo Bittencourt, Ilia Gruev, Christian Groß, Anthony Jung; Niclas Füllkrug, Marvin Ducksch.
JefeBet Prediction
The last two Bundesliga clashes between these two sides have ended in 1-1 draws, a trend that would not be surprising to see repeated on this new matchday.
We are talking about two clubs that are in the top 5 of the teams that have conceded the most goals so far in 16 dates. For this reason, it is expected that several goals will be scored at the RheinEnergie Stadion.
In fact, it would not be strange that, due to the defensive fragility of both teams, both would be present on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Both teams score (KOL 1-2 BRE).
