Dortmund vs FC Koln Prediction & Betting tips
Borussia Dortmund takes it on Saturday afternoon in their own stadium against 1. FC Köln. Will Dortmund manage to fulfill its favorite role in this game?
Borussia Dortmund:
These are busy weeks for Borussia Dortmund. For example, the team from Westphalia came into action in European action on Tuesday, in the group stage of the Champions League. Dortmund had little trouble with Club Brugge. Thanks to goals from Erling Haaland and Jadon Sancho, a comfortable 2-0 lead was taken before half-time. Dortmund did not have to go all out in the future. Haaland made it 3-0 in the second half. With the victory, Borussia took an important step towards the eighth finals.
In the Bundesliga, Der BVB scored no less than five times last week. In the away match at Hertha BSC it was Haaland who showed his team the way. The young Norwegian managed to score no less than four times, bringing the season total to ten. Earlier in the day, Dortmund had seen Bayern Munich draw against Werder Bremen (1-1). Dortmund thus caught up two points on the list leader. For Saturday’s game, trainer Lucien Favre could rotate somewhat. The important European match against Lazio Roma awaits on Wednesday.
FC Cologne:
For 1. FC Köln it has been a football year without too many highlights so far. The bad line at the end of last season, the Domstedelingen continued after the short summer break. After eight games, Die Geißböcke are on a paltry subtotal of three points. Köln is still a relegation candidate. Last week, the team lost at home to FC Union Berlin (1-2), in a match in which Köln again did not reach a very high level.
The problems are therefore big for the club from the German Dom city. As is the case in football, trainer Markus Gisdol received questions about his position at the weekly press conference. “As a Bundesliga coach, you have to be able to deal with that pressure,” said Gisdol. ‘That is part of the profession. In these phases I try to concentrate even more on my work. ‘ For coaches of poorly performing teams there is always the temptation to change the starting line-up. Gisdol may choose a few other players on Saturday, compared to last weekend’s game.
