Today's Predictions for Schalke vs Cologne

Cologne took four points from the first six on offer since the mid-season break. Can Die Geißböcke maintain their form against the league’s worst outfit? Read our top predictions for this weekend’s fixture below.

Cologne to Win

Cologne have shown two sides to their character since the Bundesliga’s return and after a sparkling attacking display against Werder Bremen (7-1), they showcased a steely resolve in a 1-1 draw at league-leading Bayern Munich. A test against bottom club Schalke should be easier to navigate on paper on Sunday, however. The division’s worst outfit were beaten in each of their last two assignments, conceding a glut of goals along the way, and our first prediction backs Cologne to pile more misery on their hosts.

Over 1.5 Cologne Goals

Schalke are rock bottom of the Bundesliga and the relegation favourites hold the division’s worst defensive record. Their backline has looked as brittle as always since the campaign’s resumption and Schalke shipped a staggering nine goals across their first 180 minutes back in the saddle. Cologne put three goals of their own past that ramshackle rearguard when the teams last met in August and they could be worth backing to net over 1.5 times again in this one.
