Prediction: 0-2
Leipzig
Koln will be looking to move away from the automatic relegation places when they welcome Leipzig to their RheinEnergieStadion on Friday evening. The Billy Goats are on a five-game winless run in the Bundesliga and they face yet another tough challenge against the Red Bulls. Both Timo Hubers and Jan Thielmann are banned for the match, while all Justin Diehl, Luca Waldschmidt, and Mark Uth remain in the recovery room. The good news for the hosts is that midfielder Dejan Ljubicic is back from suspension.
Leipzig, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Darmstadt, with the team remaining in the Champions League race. Given Koln’s shaky defence and absentees, we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s encounter. As for the visitors, Austria midfielder Christoph Baumgartner is pushing for a start after the 24-year-old sealed the victory against the Lilywhites, while both Mohamed Simakan and Lukas Klostermann are out of contention with injuries.
