Bayer Leverkusen vs FC Koln Prediction & Betting tips
The 10th day has got it all. On Saturday, another Rheinischen derby will take place between the Werkself from Leverkusen and the table closing light FC Köln. Both teams were able to get through the week in the DFB Cup.
Bayer Leverkusen :
The men around new coach Heiko Herrlich can look back on quite successful weeks. Since the home win against HSV almost exactly one month ago the Leverkusen have not lost any more.
On Schalke and against Wolfsburg the teams have divided the points and last weekend the Werkself with the Gladbacher foals had to run in another explosive Rheinischen derby.
It should be a curious game from the perspective of Leverkusen. The Gladbacher had the reins in the first pass firmly in the hand and deserved by Johnson with 1: 0 in the lead. Then they had several major chances to the 2-0, but among other things Hazard, which failed by two meters at Leno, forgave these chances miserably and so it went with a tight lead for the Borussen in the break.
Coach Magnificently should have found the right words during the break and turned off offensively. Alario stayed outside, and Brandt came for him, and that immediately made itself felt. At first, Sven Bender was in the 48th minute, hitting the ball from a short distance to the equalizer.
It should be the beginning of a grand second half. Bailey, Brandt and Vollandt increased from minute 59 to 69 to 1: 4 and the final point put the substitute Pohjanpalo with the 1: 5 final.
In the table, the glorious men push themselves to the ninth place with connection to the international ranks.
Even in the DFB Cup, the Werkself did not fire at the 4-1 home victory over Union Berlin and qualified for the next round.
On Saturday the next Rhenish derby will be on the program. The table finals from Cologne in the BayArena and against the played one played last season two draws.
Volland (ligament tear in the ankle) is questionable.
Must fit S. Bender (muscular problems), Retsos defends in.
Leno – Retsos, Tah, S. Bender, Wendell – L. Bender, Aranguiz – Bailey, Brandt – Havertz, Alario
FC Koln:
At the “Effzeh” the guilty seems to have been found for the miserable season. After nine unsuccessful games in succession and only two meager points in the account, manager Schmadtke had to fire at the alleged experimental trainer Peter Stöger, take even the hat.
After a 0-0 home defeat against the penultimate SV Werder Bremen it seems as if he could no longer strengthen the Austrians and wanted to set a new impetus to save the season somehow. But this attempt went into the pants thoroughly and Schmadtke himself now has to look for a new job.
Whether it has been due to the manager’s expulsion that happiness has returned, you will probably never know. At the very least, the Domstadters won a 3-1 win at Hertha BSC Berlin in the DFB Pokal, and they are confidently entering the next round.
On Saturday the men have to coach Peter Stöger to the Rheinischen derby to the BayArena, where they have lost only one of the last four duels.
Coach Stöger plague enormous staff. Hector, Cordoba, Lehmann, tears and Pizarro will not be able to participate on Saturday.
Horn – Olkowski, Maroh, Heintz, Rausch – Jojic, Özcan – Zoller, Bittencourt – Guirassy, Osako
