Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
RheinEnergieStadion will host Saturday’s Bundesliga game between Koln and Freiburg. The Billy Goats aim to build on a 3-1 win over Hoffenheim and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Freiburg. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, while all Sebastian Andersson, Mark Uth, and Florian Dietz remain in the treatment room.
Christian Streich’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Werder Bremen (2-1) and Schalke (4-0), and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. With no fresh injury worries to report, Christian Streich is unlikely to make changes to the team that crushed die Knappen at the weekend. Ritsu Doan is a major doubt, while both Manuel Gulde and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh are out of contention through injuries.
