Hoffenheim vs FC Koln
Germany – Bundesliga
Date: Monday, 25 January 2021
Kick-off at 17:00 UK/ 18:00 CET
Venue: PreZero Arena.

The Billy Goats are one of the worst teams in the competition, and are placed in the relegation zone at the moment. They have won just thrice all through this campaign, and two of those had come against squads currently placed 17^th and 18^th in the table.

They also have one of the worst offenses in the entire German top flight. Only two other teams have scored fewer goals than them this season.

Meanwhile, Die Kraichgauer are placed in the mid-table, and have secured some great wins along the way against some of the best teams in the league.

They have also scored in plenty through these fixtures, and at home they have been an even better force.

On top of that, they also have a great h2h record against this rival over the years as well.

By the looks of things, expect Hoffenheim to emerge victorious this Saturday.
