FC Koln – RB Leipzig : Preview & Prediction
FC Cologne, 17th and second to last in the standings, is in great danger since Funkel’s formation is 4 points behind Arminia Bielefeld, first non-relegation, and 3 units on Hertha Berlin, 16th and barrage. The specter of relegation is there especially as the latest results are very poor with only 2 points taken (Werder Bremen and Borussia Dortmund) out of 27 at stake in the last 9 days. Drexler’s teammates (2 goals) recorded 3 failures in their last 3 outings in Wolfsburg (1-0), against Mainz (2-3) and on the field of Bayer Leverkusen (3-0) this Saturday. It is hard to see the worst training at home (1 victory, 5 draws, 8 losses) hooking the 2nd best team away (8 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses). RB Leipzig seem to let Bayern Munich escape to a new title since Nagelsmann’s foals have lost 5 points on the Bavarian club in the last 5 days. Forsberg’s partners (6 goals) have lost only 1 league meeting since January 23 against Bayer Munich (0-1, April 3) and they have just taken 4 points in the last two days at Bremen (4-1) and ahead of Hoffenheim this Friday evening. Leipzig almost took 3 points against Hoffenheim but Poulsen’s goal in added time (90th + 5) was refused for a hand fault. There is no doubt that the Bayern runner-up will seek to make up for the 2 points lost at the RheinEnergieStadion.
Leipzig, 2nd, uses his last cartridges in the race for the title.
FC Cologne, 17th and penultimate in the Bundesliga, is 4 lengths behind the first non-relegation.
Cologne has not won for 9 league games, or for two and a half months.
FC Cologne are on an ongoing streak of 3 straight wins.
Leipzig has 2 wins and 1 draw in front of Cologne in their last 3 duels.
Leipzig is the 2nd best away team (8 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses).
RB Leipzig, winner in Cologne (4-2) last season, should once again get the 3 points of the win at the RheinEnergieStadion and therefore validate their place in the Champions League next season.
