Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln Head-to-head stats

The latest clash at this venue ended in a 2-0 win for the hosts, and they also won three of the past four meetings here. Moreover, the home team has a 100% winning record at this stadium in the past two decades, barring only two draws.

Who will win the match between Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln?

Der BVB are quite easily the best team in the German top flight at the moment, and they are dead-determined to catch the Bavarians, who have a lead of two points at the top of the table.

They also have a 100% winning record at home in all competitions since October, and lost just once all through the campaign. This sole defeat came back in August.

On the other hand, Koln are on a four-fixture winless run, and three of these were losses. They also have a single league win on the road since April of 2022.

And on top of all that they have a poor h2h record at this venue in the past two decades. Surely count on a win for Borussia Dortmund this weekend.

How many goals can be expected?

Der BVB scored 23 goals from their past six league games at this venue, and they scored five or more goals in two of the past four h2h clashes at this stadium.

Moreover, Koln let in two or more goals in three of their past four overall games.

Chances are quite high for goals to come in plenty this Saturday.

Will Both Teams Score in the match?

The hosts kept clean sheets in seven of the previous ten h2h meetings at this stadium, while Koln failed to find the back of the net in their past three road trips.

Likely, it is a doubt if the visitors would be able to find the back of the net this weekend.

Borussia Dortmund vs FC Koln Prediction

Der BVB just got eliminated from the Champions League, and now their sole objective would be to lift the Bundesliga title.

It helps their cause that they have a 100% winning record at home since October in all competitions, and they also have a 100% winning record at this venue in h2h clashes since 2002 – barring only four games.

On the other hand, Koln lost three of their past four overall games, and they also have a single league win on the road since April.

Likely, a -1.5 Asian Handicap on Borussia Dortmund would be a promising bet at 2.20 odd.

Going on, the hosts scored 23 goals from their past six league games at this stadium, and they slotted in five or more goals in two of their past four h2h encounters at this ground.

Likely, the Over 2.5 Team Goals by Borussia Dortmund is an attractive wager at 2.40 odd.
