FC Koln vs Paderborn Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday afternoons the low flyers FC Köln and SC Paderborn face each other. Does one of the two teams manage to take full advantage?
FC Köln:
The club from the Domstad has for the time being not too positive a renewed introduction to the Bundesliga. 1. FC Köln is struggling at the highest German level after last year’s promotion. Of the first seven games, five ended in a loss. Two weeks ago there was a success. A visit was made to Schalke 04 at the last minute. In injury time, Jonas Hector provided the 1-1 final score with a good header.
“We want to embroider on our performance against Schalke,” coach Achim Beierlorzer said at the weekly press conference. ‘All players are diligent. We definitely want the first home victory, “said Beierlorzer. Cologne did not actually win for its own audience. The only win so far was achieved in the away match against SC Freiburg (1-2). Kingsley Ehizibue, who came over from PEC Zwolle during the last transfer period, can normally count on a base place on Sunday.
SC Paderborn:
SC Paderborn is, just like Köln, a PhD student. The club from Westphalia has it even harder than the Domstedelingen. After seven games, the team only won a minor point. Two weeks ago it went wrong in a competition in which something seemed possible in advance. At home against Mainz, however, Paderborn left the field with a 1-2 defeat. A time-lapse Jamilu Collins missed a penalty, in a match in which Paderborn was unable to convince.
For trainer Steffen Baumgart, there is little more to do than keep the mood positive. “The boys have worked well over the past fourteen days,” the trainer said at the preparatory press meeting. “We want to show it on the field now.” Baumgart does not have the additional problem of a long list of absent players. Apart from defender Uwe Hunemeier, everyone is on board. There are possibilities to change things in the basic eleven.
