RB Leipzig vs FC Koln Prediction & Betting tips
On 24 Matchday of the Bundesliga meet RB Leipzig, which was allowed to celebrate on Thursday against the SSC Naples to move into the round of the last sixteen of the Europa League, and the 1.FC Cologne each other. FC coach Stefan Ruthenbeck owes his career as a professional coach to his opponent Ralph Hasenhüttl, as it was Hasenhüttl’s resignation at VfR Aalen, which in 2013 opened the door to Ruthenbeck’s first stop in German professional football. In the first leg in the Rhineland, the Leipzig kept the upper hand 2-1. A repetition of this result would probably definitively seal the descent of Cologne and rob even the most daring optimists of their last remaining hopes. We analyze which tip could be worthwhile in the game on Sunday evening.
The Leipzig missed on Monday with the 1: 2 at Eintracht Frankfurt the possible jump from fifth place to second place in the table and were disappointed accordingly. However, it was not enough what they offered at the Hesse. Less corners, fewer deals and a lower tackle than the opponent leave no doubt that the defeat was ultimately earned. The only bright spot was the Bundesliga comeback of Emil Forsberg, who was missed so far in the second half of the season extremely painfully. However, now with Naby Keita and Will Orban two other cornerstones are struck and threaten to fail. Difficulties that coach Ralph Hasenhüttl has had to deal with for months. Almost never this season was his dream formation on the court. With Marcel Halstenberg (cruciate ligament rupture) broke in January, a column right away for the rest of the season, but also minor ailments such as the recent colds of Marcel Sabitzer and Diego Demme forced the Austrian coach again and again for short-term rescheduling.
Nevertheless, the last home appearance in the league makes justifiable hope to be able to defeat the tail light from Cologne. So the Leipzig started furiously against FC Augsburg and burned in the first half, a real fireworks with 12: 2 shots. It is to be expected that they will also give gas against the “Effzeh” from the kickoff in order to break the supposedly slightly cracked morale of Cologne as soon as possible.
The Cologne had to take on the final day of the 1-1 draw against Hannover 96 a real low blow. If the phrase “roller coaster of emotions” ever found its justification, then definitely that afternoon in Cologne: Oldie Claudio Pizarro succeeded in the fourth minute of injury time the redeeming (supposed) winning goal to 2: 1, the whole stadium in absolute ecstasy and Euphoria staggered. After several minutes of interruption and discussion, in which the ball was already back on the kick-off point, then came the huge disillusionment, as at the video assistant’s refusal the gate for offside recognition was denied. Extremely bitter, especially as the Cologne had previously been twice in a very promising position wrongly repelled offside. Coach Stefan Ruthenbeck is likely to have done everything in the past week, to shake the disappointment of his players again from the bone. But can he really stir up the belief in the miracle of relegation?
From the very large mood of departure, which still prevailed after three victories in a row in mid-January, is now nothing more to feel. No miracle in the light of now nine points behind relegation place 16. Under Ruthenbeck eleven points from nine games could be brought anyway. A point cut that would be extrapolated to a league season. Too heavy weighs however the balance under Peter Stöger, with which until the 14th round of the game only three points could be retracted. In Leipzig, a great character test awaits the “Effzeh”: Especially with an early backlog it would be interesting to see if the team breaks up or continues to resist the descent with all its might.
