Our tip: 1. FC Köln – RB Leipzig: 2

15.03.2024 20:30

1. FC Köln and RB Leipzig have different ambitions ahead of the final nine Bundesliga rounds. If the Rhineland team is fighting to stay among the German elite, the opponent wants to qualify for the Champions League.

The “Goats” twice failed to hold on to their lead over Borussia Mönchengladbach in the regional derby last week and had to settle for a point after a 3-3 draw, extending their winless streak to five games (0-3-2), but despite that they held on to the bargaining position. 1. FC Köln recorded both of the aforementioned losses at home and it is in front of their own fans that they have to work hard, now being the second worst team in the competition (9).

Leipzig, after finishing last on the European stage, easily defeated Darmstadt (2-0) and continue to trail a point behind fourth-placed Borussia Dortmund, who would be the last to qualify for the millionaire’s competition given the current balance of power. The Saxon side won convincingly in Bochum (4-1) two weeks ago, but took only two points from their four previous away league games, which affected their overall record (5-2-5).

What to bet on:

Die Roten Bullen have only won twice (2-2-4) away from home in the league since the end of October, but this time they will improve their unfavourable record and take the necessary three points from the RheinEnergieStadion.

Confidence:

7/10
