FC Koln vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
The first Bundesliga match of this weekend will be between FC Köln and Borussia Dortmund. In other words: Dortmund coach Peter Stöger faces the club where he was fired earlier this year.
FC Koln :
Last Saturday there was an end of the victory series of the Domstedelingen. Also in the previous round, Die Geissböcke played a home match, and via a nice free kick from Milos Jojic FC Köln came in the lead. In the second half, opponent FC Augsburg pushed in quite well, and the deserved equalizer also fell. Therefore Köln had to settle for a point-division after a series of three victories.
This does not alter the fact that FCK is still close to the relegation streak, where the team only scored three points for its top series. The distance to the sixteenth place, which involves promotion / loss of return, is currently four points. The duels with Dortmund have shown a positive balance for Köln in recent years. This season Köln lost a lot in Westfalen (5-0), but before that, the club was unbeaten in six games in a row against Dortmund.
Dortmund:
Anyone who thought that the Peter Bosz resignation was over for Dortmund has been disappointed in recent weeks. Even under the new trainer Peter Stöger it does not run smoothly for Der BVB. After a nice start with two victories, things went quickly less. The team was eliminated by Bayern München for the cup, and in the league there were three draws in a row.
The last draw was also just in the nick of time achieved. Last week, after a good first phase in the game, Dortmund had a hard time against the disciplined SC Freiburg, who managed to get the gap behind in a lead. In the final minute, Jeremy Toljan managed to save another run for Der BVB (2-2), which started surprisingly with Pierre Aubameyang.
This was surprising, because the Gabonese seemed on the way to Arsenal. Stöger nevertheless rescued him, and perhaps he soon regretted it, because Auba brought very little and seemed especially intent not to get injured. In that design he succeeded. This week Aubameyang rounded off his lucrative transfer to England. From the same country came his replacement – Michy Batshuayi is allowed to try to revive his career in Dortmund.
