Betting on FC Cologne
Cologne salvaged a valuable draw on the last matchday against Union Berlin, one of the teams at the top of the overall standings that are aiming for great things this campaign. However, the home team urgently needs to get back on the winning track, having lost three consecutive games in the local league.
This series of winless games has kept them in twelfth place in the overall standings with 27 points, eight points clear of the relegation zone. However, this is not enough to feel saved this season; for this reason, it urgently needs to return to winning ways.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Marvin Schwabe; Timo Hubers, Julian Chabot, Jonas Hector, Benno Schmitz; Eric Martel, Ellyes Skhiri; Linton Maina, Dejan Ljubicic, Florian Kainz; Steffen Tigges.
Betting on VfL Bochum
Bochum was defeated in a key match at the bottom of the standings, losing to Schalke 04 on February 4 by 0-2. This result puts them in the last place in the competition with 19 points. Despite this, it is only a one-point difference to salvation, so Bochum still has a chance to stay in the German top flight.
The first task for achieving this goal is to get back to winning ways, or at least to draw, since they have lost 5 consecutive matches taking into account all competitions. It went scoreless in four of those five matches, conceding 10 goals.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Manuel Riemann; Saidy Janko, Erhan Masovic, Keven Schlotterbeck, Danilo Teodoro Soares; Patrick Osterhage, Philipp Forster, Kevin Stoger; Takuma Asano, Philipp Hofmann, Christopher Antwi-Adjei.
JefeBet Prediction
Cologne have won five of their 11 home games, losing just three of them. In addition, it is undefeated in its 3 most recent matches against this opponent, making them the great favorite to win this Friday. Cologne will try to take advantage of the bad moment of the team that has conceded the most goals so far in the competition, 56 goals.
Therefore, it is expected that the local team will recover the path to victory at the start of match day 24, and in this way consolidate its position in the first division for another campaign.
Prediction: Cologne Moneyline (KOL 2-0 BOC).
