FC Koln Team News
Koln fell in the Bundesliga standings before the World Cup break, with five defeats in seven matches at that point. However, the continuation of the season brought better days for Capricorns because they have not yet lost a single match this year.
In front of their fans, they outclassed Werder 7-1. In the next round they won one poinst against the leading Bayern at the Allianz Arena in front of 75,000 spectators. But when it was expected that they would register an easy triumph against last-placed Schalke on Sunday, they did not play at the expected level (0-0).
Koln scored eight goals in the previous three meetings, so there is no doubt that on Saturday, this match will not be an easy task for Leipzig.
RB Leipzig
On the other hand, Leipzig reached the third place in the standings with good performances in the rest of the season, only two points behind the leader Bayern and one point behind the second-placed Union Berlin after 18 rounds played.
After defeating Schalke and Stuttgart, in the last round they won three new points in front of their fans by defeating Hoffenheim 3-1 with goals from Forsberg, Konrad Laimer and Tim Werner. This was the eleventh league match in which Marco Rose’s team did not lose, in that period they achieved 8 triumphs and 3 draws.
With 39 goals scored, Leipzig is the second most efficient team in the Bundesliga, right behind Bayern. The Bulls have scored at least two goals in eight of the last nine championship games, so it is to be expected that they will continue in this rhythm in the next match.
H2H
These two teams met 11 times in all competitions. RB Leipzig is a better rival in mutual duels with 5 triumphs, while Koln achieved 2 victories. 4 matches ended in a draw.
Injuries and suspensions
FC Koln: Sebastian Andersson, Florian Dietz, Luca Kilian, Dimitrios Limnios, Kristian Pedersen and Mark Uth are injured.
RB Leipzig: Abdou Diallo, Peter Gulacsi, Christopher Nkunku and Dani Olmo are injured.
FC Koln vs RB Leipzig Prediction
These two teams play matches with a lot of goals. Eight of the last ten matches ended with goals on both sides, and the total number of goals in those matches were over 2.5.
Considering that Leipzig played all three games this year with a lot of goals, and Koln scored a goal in two of the previous three matches, it seems that the combination for both teams to score a goal with a total number of goals above 2.5 is the best choice for this match.
Kick-off time: Saturday, 04.02.2023. 15:30 CET
