A new Bundesliga campaign gets underway at RheinEnergieStadion as Koln welcome Hoffenheim in round 1. Koln will be full of confidence after coming from behind to beat Wurzburger Kickers 2-1 in the DFB Pokal, while they also ended preseason with an impressive 2-1 victory over Real Sociedad. The club strengthened with permanent deals for Luka Lochoshvili, Tom Krauss, Jakub Kaminski, and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey. Koln have scored in all of their last 10 matches, averaging 2.3 goals per game.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, made a strong start by thrashing Aue 4-0 in the cup. Patrick Wimmer stole the spotlight with a brace on his official debut and should start again here. Hoffenheim have won six of their last 10 games and average 2.0 goals per match, while their opponents have conceded 1.8 per game. Forward Tim Lemperle is banned for the away team due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Koln's last 10 matches average 4.1 total goals and given Hoffenheim's attacking potential, our main betting pick firmly points toward BTTS. Additionally, Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals markets are worth considering.
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 14:30.
