Cologne to Win
Wolfsburg are in a real slump at present and they were beaten for the fourth time in five assignments in league and cup when they lost 3-0 at home to RB Leipzig on Saturday. With their confidence at a low ebb, Die Wolfe won’t be relishing the prospect of facing a Cologne outfit that has lost just twice in ten Bundesliga matches at home this season, and they could come unstuck yet again. With that in mind, our first Cologne vs Wolfsburg prediction tips the hosts to pocket maximum points.
Over 2.5 Goals
When Cologne and Wolfsburg last met back in September, they both went for the jugular in a pulsating six-goal thriller which eventually ended 4-2 in Die Geißböcke’s favour. That was the sixth time in eight encounters between the clubs where a minimum of three goals rattled the net and more entertainment could be on the agenda when the sides meet again on Saturday. Five of Wolfsburg’s last six games in the Bundesliga spawned over 2.5 goals and we’re tipping that pattern to continue here.

Predicted Lineup for Wolfsburg: Casteels – Baku, Lacroix, van de Ven, Otavio – Arnold, Gerhardt – Waldschmidt, Nmecha, Wimmer – Wind
Player to Watch – Julian Chabot
