Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Koln play host to Freiburg at their RheinEnergieStadion in the Bundesliga round 21. The Billy Goats aim to stay in the top half of the table, but they face a difficult task in Saturday’s clash. Ellyes Skhiri is back from international duty, while Dejan Ljubicic should miss out with a head injury. All Kinglsey Schindler, Jannes-Killian Horn, and Timo Horn should be fit for the match.
Christian Streich’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Stuttgart. Freiburg and Koln, though, seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils on Matchday 21. Christian Streich should have a full squad to choose from this time out. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
