FC Koln vs FC Augsburg Match Preview

Cologne welcomes Augsburg in the tenth matchday of the German league.

The hosts, after a heavy away defeat in the derby against Gladbach 5-2, lost in midweek to Partizan 2-0 in Belgrade. Cologne in the league have won just two of their last six games, while at home they have won half of the four they have played. Undoubtedly, the absences that they will have in midfield are expected to make them work for victory very difficult in combination with the fatigue from the European competition.

The visitors, on the other hand, continue their good performances despite the home draw with Wolfsburg, which followed three consecutive wins, one of which was against Bayern Munich. Away from home in four matches they have achieved three wins and suffered just one defeat, having the best away defense after the leaders Union.

In conclusion, Augsburg are comfortable playing away from home and I expect them to take advantage of the home team's fatigue and weaknesses to pick up another win. However, I will bet 3 points more conservatively on the double chance X2, which is priced at a high of 2.25 as both teams will walk away happy in a possible eventual draw given the conditions.
