Freiburg vs FC Koln Prediction & Betting tips
SC Freiburg is currently the team of the hour in the Bundesliga. The Black Forests won 14 of 18 possible points from the last six games – more than any other Bundesliga club. The last four league games in a row could be won with at least two self-scored goals. But now, with Cologne, an opponent in the south of Baden-Württemberg, who has been unbeaten away for five games, is visiting.
Nevertheless, according to the odds comparison of the betting base in the run-up to the encounter between Freiburg and Cologne, the odds of the bookmakers are clearly pointing towards the home side.
The sports club could set a club record. There were only four league games won in a row within one season in the 1994/95 season. Now, for the first time, the kickers from Breisgau could celebrate five wins in a row on the top floor of German football. However, Cologne is anything but a welcome guest in the Bundesliga. With only four away goals, Effzeh has the best away defense of all 18 German first division clubs.
Freiburg :
SC Freiburg started the new season successfully with a 3-2 away win at VfB Stuttgart, but then experienced a long dry spell early on. Nine league games in a row, the men from the Breisgau could not get another three before the knot burst loudly in December.
Most recently, the sports club celebrated four wins in a row and even climbed back into the top half of the table after the latest 3-1 win at TSG Hoffenheim. In ninth place, the Black Forests go into their first home game in the calendar year 2021, just four points behind a Europa League starting place.
In the past few weeks, Vincenzo Grifo in particular became the superstar of Christian Streich’s selection. The 27-year-old scored his seventh goal of the season against his former employer Hoffenheim and was also instrumental in the upswing with his four assists.
It should also depend on his good form whether our tip for more than 2.5 goals in this encounter at Freiburg against Cologne will work. With the strong attackers Ermedin Demirovic, Lucas Höler and Edeljoker Nils Petersen, the Baden-Wuerttembergians have a lot to throw into the offensive scales anyway.
Only defensively there is still room for improvement. The already 24 goals conceded confirm that the SCF has the fifth weakest defense in the entire Bundesliga. Without conceding goals, the Black Forest only remained in the two league games against the poorly finished cellar children Bielefeld and Schalke during the season.
Nonetheless, the choice of Christian Streich after the four victories in a row is decidedly broad. Should there be victory number five against Cologne, there will also be a lasting entry in the history books for the best Bundesliga series of all time in the club’s history. Accordingly, the Black Forests should go into this home game with motivation.
Cologne :
1. FC Köln is just above the line in the current Bundesliga table. As 15th the league would be done. It can be stated, however, that overall things have not gone too well for the billy goats, who can primarily thank the poor results of Schalke, Mainz and Bielefeld for not being on a relegation zone.
A yield of just eleven points from the first 14 games would have resulted in the red lantern in many other seasons.
The “Effzeh” is primarily in the basement because only two of the 14 league games could be won. A fact that is primarily due to the lack of offensive penetration. Cologne have only scored 13 goals this season. Only Bielefeld and Mainz presented themselves even tamer.
So it’s no wonder that the transfer market is currently being explored. From the former Schalke Max Meyer to Joshua Zirkzee, Vedad Ibisevic or Yannick Gerhardt, the rumor mill has many big names. In Freiburg, however, the players who are there still have to fix it.
That could well be Anthony Modeste, who has only made five short appearances so far, but may be fit enough again for his starting eleven debut in the Black Forest. The billy goat away streak could also maintain his goal threat – Cologne has been unbeaten in five games in the distance.
In addition, the “Effzeh” has the best away defense in the Bundesliga, which is not reflected in the bookmakers’ listings. However, the Domstadt team have only won one away game in Breisgau since 1996.
