FC Koln vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Match Preview

• RB Leipzig won three of the last four league games.
• FC Koln have managed just a single victory in the previous twelve Bundesliga matches.
• Die Rotten Bullen scored two or more goals in seven of the last eight league affairs.

FC Koln and RB Leipzig will raise the curtain on Matchday No 26 in German Bundesliga. The teams from the opposite ends of Bundesliga table come across each other on Friday evening at RheinEnergieSTADION.

FC Koln picked up a point from an eventful six-goal draw away at Borussia Monchengladbach last Saturday. While avoiding a defeat at Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK can hardly be regarded as a failure for FC Koln, the Billy Goats are still in a very difficult situation. They hold the 16th place (the one that leads to the relegation playoffs at the end of the season) at the moment. The safe zone is seven points away and Timo Schultz’s men desperately need to initiate a winning thread before it gets too late.

Koln’s potential winning run will hardly start this Friday, though. The Billy Goats are up against Champions League hopefuls. RB Leipzig are fifth in the league standings, sitting one point shy of Borussia Dortmund in fourth place. Die Rotten Bullen did not have too many problems with the rock-bottomed Darmstadt last weekend. Marco Rose’s men celebrated a 2-0 victory at home eight days ago.

FC Koln vs RB Leipzig Prediction

FC Koln have managed just one win in the last twelve league outings. There is really not much to point towards a positive scenario for them on Friday despite their strong effort last weekend in Monchengladbach. RB Leipzig go into this on the back of three wins in the last four league games. They need points in the battle for the top-four finish and a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. Die Rotten Bullen also claimed a demolishing 6-0 victory in the reverse game against FC Koln in the first half of the season. The away win is our main betting pick here and you can back it at the odds of 1.53.

RB Leipzig bagged two or more goals in seven of the previous eight Bundesliga matches. They missed bountiful high-profile chances last weekend but still picked up a 2-0 win over Darmstadt. While they haven’t had impressive attacking numbers throughout the season, FC Koln will go into this off the back of a 3-3 draw at Borussia Monchengladbach. Also, three of the previous four H2H clashes between FC Koln and RB Leipzig ended with at least four goals scored. The Over 2.5 goals FT bet is paid at the 1.61 odds.
