Prediction: 2-0
Arminia Bielefeld
RheinEnergieStadion will host Saturday’s Bundesliga game between Koln and Arminia Bielefeld, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the season finale. Koln are eyeing a spot in European competitions, while Arminia are fighting hard to secure the elite division survival. The Billy Goats proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Mainz and Borussia M’gladbach, and, it is no wonder the bookies see them as favourites to beat die Arminien on home soil.
There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but Sebastian Andersson is a major doubt following his recent positive test for coronavirus. Arminia, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest in the season finale, and seeing that Koln are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the visitors are unlikely to grab something from the match. All Kunze, Laursen, Lasme, Brunner, Kruger, and Klos should miss out with injuries.
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.
