Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Darmstadt play host to Koln at their Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor in the opening match of the Bundesliga round 13. The Lilywhites are eager to put an end to their five-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Billy Goats. Defender Christoph Klarer is back from suspension, while all Christoph Zimmermann, Fraser Hornby, Marcel Schuhen, Braydon Manu, and Fabio Torsiello are out of contention with injuries.
Koln, on the other hand, failed to claim a major scalp at the weekend, with the team losing to Bayern Munich in front of home fans, but they are surely capable of grabbing something from Friday’s encounter. A close encounter is on the horizon in Darmstadt and we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on draw. Midfielder Max Finkgrafe is a major doubt, while goalkeeper Philipp Pentke remains on the sidelines with a knee injury.
