Betting on Koln
Cologne is coming off its first defeat in 2023, losing 3-0 to Stuttgart. They had achieved a five-match unbeaten run in the Bundesliga, with their previous loss coming in November 2022 to Hertha Berlin by a score of 2-0.
The local team occupies the 12th place in the overall standings with 26 points, with six wins, eight ties and seven losses. The best performance has been in their home matches, where they have won five of their six matches. They have not lost in their last three home games, and in the most recent one they won 3-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Marvin Schwabe; Benno Schmitz, Nikola Soldo, Julian Chabot, Jonas Hector; Ellyes Skhiri, Eric Martel; Denis Huseinbasic, Florian Kainz, Linton Maina; Steffen Tigges.
Betting on Wolfsburg
On paper, Wolfsburg appears to be the better team of the two simply because it is in seventh place and has a record of eight wins, six draws and seven losses. However, what casts doubt on their level is their recent negative run of four games without a win in the Bundesliga, with three defeats and a draw.
Their last victory was on January 24 by a score of 0-5 against Hertha Berlin, but since then things have not gone well, and even in their last two games they have failed to score. Their most recent performance on rival territory was a 0-0 draw against Schalke, a weaker opponent in last place overall standings.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Koen Casteels; Ridle Baku, Maxence Lacroix, Micky van de Ven, Paulo Otávio; Maximilian Arnold, Yannick Gerhardt; Luca Waldschmidt, Felix Nmecha, Patrick Wimmer; Jonas Wind.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams lost their most recent matches, so they are not in a good moment. Based on their recent results, the most likely result is a draw, as it is possibly useful for either of the two to split points.
Prediction: Draw by a score of 1-1.
