Prediction: 1-1
Koln
Dreisamstadion will host Saturday’s Bundesliga game between Freiburg and Koln, the two teams who sit in top six ahead of day 4. Freiburg aim to build on back-to-back wins over Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. Both Yannik Keitel and Nicolas Hofler are sidelined with injuries, while Jonathan Schmid has been tested positive for coronavirus. The Billy Goats, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Bochum.
Considering that Koln have been impressive in front of goal of late, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Both Jan Thielmann and Jens Castrop are quarantined, while Timo Hubers and Jannes-Killian Horn are out of contention through injuries. You should bear in mind that 14 goals in total have been netted in the previous three meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Player (Nils Petersen):
Son to a football coach, Andreas, the Freiburg striker Nils Petersen is a physical forward best known for his clinical finishing. A former Bayern Munich striker never got a chance to prove his worth with Bundesliga giants and had to take a long road to prominence which included loan spells at Werder Bremen and Freiburg, before penning a permanent deal with Die Breisaguer in 2015.
Petersen’s impressive exploits during the 2017/18 season helped him get into Germany’s provisional FIFA World Cup 2018 squad although his father Andreas would argue it was his personal influence that helped Joachim Loew write his son’s name in the 23-man list. Namely, Andres Piteresen spotted the Germany manager on a beach in January and decided to ask him about his son’s chances of making it into Germany World Cup squad.
Piteresen was rewarded with his senior Germany cap in an Austria friendly but unfortunately for his father missed out on the final squad for the tournament in Russia.
