FC Koln vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting tips
Two teams just above the relegation zone are 1. FC Koln and SV Werder Bremen. In the German Dom city, the two teams will face each other on Saturday afternoon.
FC Cologne:
The club from Cologne is, after 23 rounds, in fourteenth place in the ranking. 1. FC Koln has 21 points, that is only three more than number sixteen DSC Arminia Bielefeld has. Last week, Die Geißbocke had the thankless task of playing an away match against FC Bayern Munich. For a moment, Koln seemed to have a chance of a good result, shortly after Ellyes Skhiri’s 2-1 connection goal. But Bayern quickly put things in order.
So there is a small margin on the danger zone, but it is also clear that Cologne still needs a good number of points to play it safe. Is this feasible? In itself yes, Koln certainly does not have the worst selection of the clubs from the right-hand row of the Bundesliga. However, the lack of scoring ability is a problem. Only 21 times this season did a player from the Domstedelingen let the net go. Midfielder Elvis Rexhbecaj is the club’s top scorer with five hits – a sign on the wall.
Werder Bremen:
SV Werder Bremen succeeded last week something that the ten opponents that Eintracht Frankfurt had encountered in the weeks before had failed. In Bremen, Werder settled 2-1 with the club from Hessen, after a 0-1 score had rested. However, it was not against Werder. Both goals by Die Hanseaten had to be assessed by the VAR in Cologne due to possible offside, but the Werder player in question was on the right side of the line twice.
Werder Bremen now has 26 points, which gives it some margin (eight points) compared to the bottom three of the ranking. The distance to the European places is also eight points, but it is doubtful whether Werder has the qualities to really look upwards. A place in the middle bracket seems the highest attainable for the green and white. Trainer Florian Kohfeldt and his players were supposed to take action in the cup midweek, but the quarter-final match against Jahn Regensburg was postponed due to positive Covid-19 tests at the 2. Bundesligaclub.
