FC Koln vs Wolfsburg Prediction
FC Koln Form
In their last three matches, FC Koln lost 1-2 against Bayern Munich, drew 1-1 with Osnabrueck, before losing to B. Dortmund by 1-0. FC Koln claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Bundesliga, which also saw them drawing two and losing three matches, in which they scored seven and conceded eight goals.
FC Koln’s priority for this season will be to stay clear of the relegation zone, while challenging for a spot in the upper half of the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg Form
In their last three matches, Wolfsburg lost against Hertha Berlin by 1-2, beat TuS Makkabi Berlin by 0-6 winning 2-0 against FC Heidenheim. Wolfsburg won half their previous six away matches in the Bundesliga, as well as seeing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored eight goals whilst conceding 11.
Qualifying for an international tournament is the dream target for Wolfsburg, while a top half finish is the least the visitors must accomplish for their latest Bundesliga campaign.
We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when FC Koln welcome Wolfsburg this coming Saturday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
