Prediction: 2-0
Bochum
Koln play host to Bochum at their RheinEnergieStadion in what is expected to be a close Bundesliga game. The Billy Goats failed to win the previous seven league matches, but a win over Bochum should see them escape the bottom two. Sargis Adamyan has joined the likes of Luca Kilian, Florian Dietz, Justin Diehl, and Mark Uth in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Thomas Letsch’s troops, on the other hand, have suffered four defeats in the previous five Bundesliga games. As Bochum have been struggling on the travels this season, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s clash. Midfielder Moritz-Broni Kwarteng is back from suspension, while all Tim Oermann, Niclas Thiede, Danilo Soares, Mohammed Tolba, and Michael Esser miss out with injuries for the visiting side. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous three meetings between the two sides.
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.
