Bochum vs FC Koln Match Preview

Bochum is ranked at 11th place with 23 points and comes after a win a draw and three losses over the last five matches. It has been not the best time for them recently as they sit only four points above the relegation zone and will have to aim for a positive result here since they are on home ground.

With 17 goals scored they do not have a great offensive side, but 11 of these goals came while playing in front of their fans. In the last five home games they scored a total of six goals averaging at least a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once in four occasions. They know they have got to dare more now since their rivals failed to keep a clean sheet in four of the last five games and got one of the worst defenses in the league. Polter has been having a good season with 6 goals and being the best scorer in the team.

FC Koln, on the other hand, is ranked at 9th place with 28 points and comes in a better run after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. They sit in a more comfortable position being 9 points above from the relegation zone but also two points behind the 6th spot which means a ticket for the Conference League.

With 30 goals scored they have shown a very good offensive side and in the last five matches scored a total of seven goals averaging more than a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once in four duels. For them Modeste has been on fire with 12 goals until now.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal now. Bochum needs to make the best use of the fact that they play at home ground and a probable win here would improve their situation. I expect a goal as a minimum by them. FC Koln is playing decent football this season and scored a goal as minimum in four of theιρ last five games away from home.
