Our prediction for this Bundesliga 2 match:
High-flying Koln will be aiming to extend their winning run to four games in 2. Bundesliga when they take on Hannover on Matchday 14. The Billy Goats survived Munster at the weekend and they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s showdown as well. Midfielder Jacob Christensen is sidelined with an ACL injury, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Tim Lemperle, who scored the winner at the weekend, should keep his place up front as a lone centre-forward.
Die Roten, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Elversberg (1-3) and Darmstadt (1-2) and given their shaky defence, we predict that the in-form hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Defender Brooklyn Ezeh misses out with injury for the visiting team, while forward Jessic Ngankam is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
