Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Koln will be aiming to make amends for a massive 6-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund when they take on Borussia M’gladbach on Sunday afternoon. The Billy Goats suffered a dip in form, and, as a result, they are only six points clear of the relegation zone ahead of the visit of Borussia M’gladbach. All Jan Thielmann, Kristian Pedersen, Mark Uth, Florian Dietz, and Sebastian Andersson are sidelined with injuries, while Luca Kilian is for the match.
Die Fohlen, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game winless run. Since both sides are desperate to return to winning ways in Bundesliga, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. Ramy Bensebaini is back from suspension, while all Lars Stindl, Tony Jantschke, and Julian Weigl miss out with injuries. In the first half of the season Borussia M’gladbach defeated Koln 5-2.
