Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Koln
Match Time & Date:
22/05/2021
15:30
Prediction: 2-0
Schalke
Koln will be aiming to avoid automatic relegation when they welcome Schalke at their RheinEnergieStadion on Matchday 34. The Billy Goats have been struggling in the second half of the season, and, as a result, their Bundesliga status is in great danger ahead of the last round. Anyhow, Koln are seen as hot favourites to beat the rock-bottom side, and we predict that they will pick up vital three points from the match.
Both Ellyes Skhiri and Ismail Jakobs are banned for the match, while all Schmitz, Rexhbecaj, Hector, and Dennis are sidelined with injuries. Die Knappen, on the other hand, have been producing fine displays in the season finale despite failing to secure the Bundesliga survival. Schalke, though, have been awful on the travels this term, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Koln’s party at RheinEnergieStadion. The good news for the visitors is that Sead Kolasinac returns from suspension.
