FC Koln vs Hoffenheim Match Preview

FC Koln is ranked at 8th place and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. It has been quite a decent season for them as they have not risked relegation at any point. In fact, they sit only four points behind the Europa Conference League zone so in case of a win here things could get interesting for them.

With 36 goals scored so far they have a good offensive side and in the last five games scored a total of six goals averaging a goal per game while managing to find the back of the net in each encounter. At home, they are one of the teams with the fewest losses as they tasted defeat just twice in 12 games, the same number as league leaders Bayern Munich. Modeste should play again from the start and could also add to his 15 goals scored so far.

Hoffenheim, on the other hand, is ranked at 6th place with 40 points and comes after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. It seems they have bounced back from the bad time they were having as they won the last games three in a row. This allowed them to climb in ranks and sit just one point behind RB Leipzig in the 4th spot which is the last Champions League spot.

With 47 goals they have one of the best offensive sides in the league and in the last five matches scored a total of eight goals averaging more than two goals per game while managing to find the back of the net at least once in four of these encounters. For them, Bebou 7 goals - 2 assists and Rutter 6 goals - 2 assists have been their leading scorers.

In conclusion, I think both teams can score at least a goal here. FC Koln needs to make use of the fact that they will be in front of their fans. In the last five h2h home games against Hoffenheim, they managed to score at least once in four of them. Hoffenheim has got plenty of quality up front as they have already proved this season and I fancy them to keep going like this even now.
