Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Koln will be looking to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Leipzig when they face Stuttgart on Matchday 5. The Billy Goats rolled over Freiburg 4-1 in their first home game of the process, which is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Stuttgart’s visit. Talented midfielder Said El Mala is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of Sunday’s clash.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, continue life without Nick Woltemade. Stuttgart did well to beat St. Pauli 2-0 at their MHP Arena at the weekend, but with Koln being tough to beat at home, we are tempted to place our bets on draw. Both Deniz Undav and Leonidas Stergiou are sidelined with injuries, while trio Silas – Diehl – Mittelstadt is rated doubtful for the visiting team. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards at RheinEnergieStadion.
