Wolfsburg vs Cologne – Betting tips & odds

Hot Tip – Both Teams to Score (7/10)

  • Both teams managed to register in two of the last three meetings between Wolfsburg and Cologne.
  • BTTS also landed in five of Wolfsburg’s last seven home games in the Bundesliga.

Wolfsburg and Cologne have kept just three and two clean sheets in the Bundesliga respectively this season, and both unreliable defences could be breached again when the teams meet on Saturday. As a consequence, our top Wolfsburg vs Cologne prediction recommends placing a wager on BTTS.

Player to Watch – Václav Cerny

Václav Cerny has really hit the ground running since the resumption of the Bundesliga campaign and the winger managed to find the net in each of Wolfsburg’s two fixtures since the winter break. The 26-year-old has scored three times in the German top tier this season, which is a modest return overall, though Cerny looks primed to improve his tally.
