Bayer Leverkusen vs FC Koln Prediction & Betting tips
The Bundesliga 2017/2017 has two more rounds for us. Saturday afternoon Bayer Leverkusen receives FC Cologne, and the home team still have to fear degradation. A triple point is therefore very welcome.
Bayer Leverkusen :
Bayer Leverkusen hits the end of this disaster season. In the past years, Die Werks played in the subtop smoothly, so he often qualified for the CL. This year everything is different; It did not really turn a moment for Bayer. In Europe, there was still wintertime, but the adventure ended there after the winter break. In the Bundesliga it went steadily less, with the lowest in the last two months. The free fall in the rankings could not be stopped, and by the fact that the degradation candidates grabbed their points, the lead in place sixteen is now only three points.
It could have been even worse if Leverkusen did not make the 1-1 at FC Ingolstadt last week. In a bad game, in which it was totally unaware that BL has a much higher player budget than Ingolstadt, coach Tayfun Korkut certainly had no right to victory. The equalizer of talent Kai Havertz in the second half meant that the ranking on the rankings would be really precarious. However, Leverkusen does not have a simple closing program. On the final day, BL has to go to Schalke 04. A victory Saturday is actually a necessity.
Probable setup Bayer Leverkusen
Leno – Henrichs, Tah, Toprak, Wendell – Baumgartlinger, Aranguiz – Havertz, Brandt – Volland, Kießling
FC Koln :
FC Köln is probably looking at the current situation with the rival of ten kilometers away. In comparison with Leverkusen, Cologne has clearly been the lesser club of the two in recent years. This year, everything is different; Cologne plays around the European places, while Leverkusen may still fear fear of degradation in May. Last week, Köln, which rarely operates a bit of business, played one of the most beautiful competitions of the season. In the Domain, competitor for EL football Werder Bremen scored 4-3. Anthony Modeste and Leonardo Bittencourt were the two starters.
Trainer Peter Stöger did not want to talk too much about the derby character of the meeting in Leverkusen’s run-up. “For the match against Werder Bremen we said we probably need three more wins [to get European football]. That goal still stands for us, “said Stöger, who further told a story about the club’s development following the promotion in 2013. “We managed to stay in it for three years in a row, and now we have a chance of European football – of course that is a dream for us.”
Probable setup FC Koln
Horn – Klünter, Sörensen, Subotic, Heintz – Lehmann – Jojic, Hector – Osako, Bittencourt – Modeste
