A tight Bundesliga encounter is expected when Koln and Union Berlin square off against each other at RheinEnergieStadion, with our prediction pointing toward a 1-1 draw. The Billy Goats have struggled to turn spells of decent attacking play into results, picking up just 0.90 points per game overall. However, matches involving the hosts tend to be open, averaging 3.10 goals, while BTTS has landed in 70% of their games. At home, Koln score 2.00 goals per match but also concede 2.20, underlining their defensive fragility despite an expected goals of 1.62. There are no fresh injury worries for the home side.
The capital club travel to North Rhine-Westphalia with slightly stronger numbers, averaging 1.40 points per game and scoring 1.50 goals per match overall. Their games are also goal-friendly, with BTTS hitting 70% and an average of 2.90 goals. Union’s away form is less convincing, though, scoring just 0.67 goals on the road. Janik Haberer is banned, but his absence is not considered crucial.
As 2 or more goals landed in 81% of their H2H meetings, Over 1.5 goals seems like a sure bet, with additional value on BTTS (both sides show 70% BTTS overall) and Half-Time Draw.
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 20 December 2025 at 14:30.
