FC Koln vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting tips
FC Köln will play a home game against VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday afternoon. The home team will be kicking off with confidence, as the first half of the season was closed strongly.
1. FC Köln:
For FC Köln, the winter break actually came at a bad time. For a long time it was doom and gloom in the Dom City, but in December it suddenly started running at Köln. The victory in the derby against Bayer Leverkusen (2-0) was the start of the turnaround. After that victory, Köln registered two more league victories, with which they managed to rise to fifteenth place. Köln now has seventeen points, from just as many competitions. The pre-winter break series naturally offers prospects for the upcoming races.
“We showed at the end of the season that we can put strong opponents in trouble,” said coach Markus Gisdol at the weekly press conference. “But we still have a long way to go,” the coach remained realistic. It will be a special day for Elvis Rexhbecaj on Saturday. He was rented out by VfL Wolfsburg this winter break to Köln. There is no ban on playing against his real employer, so a basic place for the midfielder is obvious.
VfL Wolfsburg:
VfL Wolfsburg can look back on a reasonable first half of the season. Initially the club from Lower Saxony made an impression and many points were taken, but in the last months of 2019, Wout Weghorst and his teammates had more difficulty winning matches. Of the last ten league matches, only two delivered the full loot. Wolfsburg did well in Europe. Die Wölfe qualified for the sixteenth finals of the Europa League. Malmö FF is the opponent in this round.
Daniel Ginczek missed almost the entire first half of the season, but the attacker made his comeback shortly before the winter break. With his return there are slightly more options for trainer Oliver Glasner, although Weghorst seems difficult to replace. The striker knows that with a good second half of the season he can force a place in the European Championship selection of the Dutch national team, also due to the many injuries in the attack of the national team. Marin Pongracic, a central defender, was taken over from RB Salzburg, but he is not ready for Saturday.
