Cologne Betting News

Cologne won only one out of their last five Bundesliga matches, so they dropped down the table significantly. They probably didn’t think about European competitions even when they were inside their reach, let alone now, when they are nearer to the relegation zone than European competitions. However, their next rival Schalke is currently on the place which leads to Europa League, eight points above them, so with an eventual victory Cologne would be back in the race.

Injuries and suspensions: Jonas Hector and Simon Zoller are injured for the forthcoming match.

Schalke Betting News

Schalke stabilized their form in the last five matches and returned into the race for the place which leads to Champions League next season. In their previous five matches they lost only once, against Mainz which is on a rampage currently, defeating all the teams which come their way, but they also recorded two draws. However, it seems they are currently good enough to defeat Cologne routinely, but we will see what the hosts think about that in this match.

Injuries and suspensions: Maxim Choupo Moting, Leon Goretzka, Marco Hoger, Benedikt Hoewedes, Matija Nastasic and Atsuto Uchida are injured for the forthcoming match.

Cologne vs Schalke Match Prediction

In their previous ten matches Cologne recorded four victories, while Schalke recorded six victories. So, we didn’t see a draw in their last ten matches, in fact, the last draw occurred ten years ago! It is also interesting that Cologne won the last three matches played against Schalke so their level of self confidence before this match is certainly high. However, Schalke is the favorite here and we expect they will cruise to a victory.
