Prediction: 2-0
Bochum
Koln will be aiming to make amends for a 3-2 loss at Bayern Munchen when they take on newcomers Bochum at their RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday afternoon. The Billy Goats produced a promising display in the Allianz Arena defeat, and it should come as no surprise the bookies see them as favourites to beat Bochum in front of home fans.
Both Modeste and Uth are likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders as the duo managed to find the net in the defeat to Bayern Munchen. All Marvin Schwabe, Timo Hubers, Jens Castrop, and Jannes-Killian Horn are out of contention through injuries. The newcomers, on the other hand, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on Koln. Robert Tesche returns from suspension for the visiting team.
