FC Koln vs Hertha Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
On the early Sunday evening in the Bundesliga, two teams face each other who want to rise in the rankings. FC Köln takes on Hertha BSC in-house.
FC Köln:
FC Köln is again at the highest German level this year, after a year of absence. The Domstedelingen could start immediately, with a series of tough competitions. VfL Wolfsburg, Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Bayern Munich lost, so that Köln is not too high in the ranking. The team from Cologne did win from SC Freiburg (1-2). Last week, Bayern was lost (4-0). Kingsley Ehizibue, who came over from PEC Zwolle this summer break, received the red card.
‘Hertha has purposefully strengthened itself. They have an experienced Bundesliga team, “said Köln coach Achim Beierlorzer at Friday’s press conference. “But we absolutely want to win,” said the coach, fighting. A home win would be the first in the Bundesliga for a year and a half. Due to the relegation of a year ago, Köln naturally did not play matches at the highest level for a season.
Hertha BSC:
The Berliners booked their first win of the season last week. This was certainly not easy, in the home match against SC Paderborn. The visitors were actually the better club, although they could not express this in the score. A sparing highlight on the Hertha side was Javairo Dilrosun’s goal, who finished a fine solo in the first half with a goal. For the rest there was little to enjoy for the fans in the Olympiastadion. It was eventually won, with 2-1.
Trainer Ante Covic emphasized the good result of his team at this week’s press conference. ‘You take steps if you are successful. Then the faith rises, “said the new trainer of the capital cities. Covic can have a fairly complete group. The big talent in midfield, Arne Maier, on the side of Hertha is missing. Dilrosun will probably be in the starting line-up again after his good performance last week.
