Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
RheinEnergieStadion will host Sunday’s football game between Koln and Borussia M’gladbach, the two bottom-table sides. The Billy Goats are stuck at the bottom of the table with only one point on their account and, no doubt, they are desperate to emerge triumphant in the round 8 clash. Both Davie Selke and Mark Uth are major doubts, while all Leart Paqarada, Jacob Christensen, Linton Maina, Benno Schmitz, and Jan Thielmann remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Die Fohlen, on the other hand, were having their ups and downs before the international break, with the team losing to Leipzig, beating Bochum, while sharing the spoils with Mainz. Koln, though, want this win more than M’gladbach and we predict that the hosts are going to prove their worth on the field. As for the away team, all Julian Weigl, Nico Elvedi, Tony Jantschke, Christoph Kramer, and Jonas Omlin are out of contention through injuries.
