Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-3
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to stay in the title race when they take on Koln at RheinEnergieStadion on Sunday. Borussia recorded a hard-fought 1-0 win over Arminia Bielefeld at the weekend, but it has to be noted that Erling Haland came as a substitute in the second half. The Norway superstar is widely expected to start against Koln, and we predict that he will pose a big threat to the opposition back-line.
Even though Marco Reus should miss out with injury, we are tempted to put our money on Marco Rose’s men, who are eager to melt Bayern Munich’s advantage in the standings. The Billy Goats did well to shock Bayer Leverkusen on Matchday 26, but we do not believe that they are capable of claiming yet another major scalp. Mark Uth remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Highlighted Player (Ellyes Skhiri):
After spending his youth career at Montpellier, Ellyes Skhiri continued playing for la Paillade at senior level. In 2019 he moved to Bundesliga side Koln, signing a four-year contract with the Billy Goats. Shkiri was born in Lunel, France on May 10, 1995, but he has a dual citizenship as his parents are of Tunisia descent.
The Koln midfielder made debut with the Tunisian national team in a 1-0 win over Iran on March 23, 2018 and he represented Tunisia at the FIFA World Cup finals in Russia later that year. Ellyes Skhiri’s main position is defensive midfielder, but he is capable of producing fine performances at both right and centre back.
His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with Koln until June 30, 2026. The Tunisia international made his Bundesliga debut on August 17, 2019 in a 2-1 loss to Wolfsburg and he scored his first ever goal in the German top flight in a 2-1 win over Freiburg on August 31, 2019.
Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
