Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Koln will be aiming to make amends for a heavy 5-1 loss to Bayern Munchen when they take on Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga round 24. The Billy Goats are on a three-game losing run in the Bundesliga, with the team sitting in the 14th position in the standings, just three points clear of the relegation zone. Koln are desperate to give fans some cheer, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Werder Bremen.
Since there were some positivities in Koln’s display in the loss to Bayern Munchen, we believe that home win should be considered. Rafael Czichos is banned for the match, while all Jonas Hector, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Sebastian Andersson, and Florian Kainz are all likely to miss the game with injuries. Die Werderaner are safe for now, meaning that the hosts want this win more than the visitors. Michael Zetterer, Patrick Erras, and Luca Plogmann are all out of contention with injuries.
