RB Leipzig vs FC Koln Prediction & Betting tips
RB Leipzig and 1. FC Köln are responsible for one of the Saturday afternoon games of this Bundesliga round. Leipzig won on Wednesday, while the Domstedelingen suffered a big defeat on the same day.
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig is still doing well at the top. The club from Saxony had no easy assignment midweek, with the game against TSG Hoffenheim. On Wednesday-evening in Sinsheim, there was an equal game, in which the highlights were scarce. Leipzig benefited from a moment when Hoffenheim was on the field with one man less due to an injury treatment. Yussuf Poulsen provided the winning goal (0-1). Leipzig is third in the league table, only one point behind league-leader Bayer Leverkusen.
“It was not our best today, and it was certainly not a great game,” said keeper Peter Gulasci after the game against Hoffenheim. ‘But the boys worked well, it was great teamwork.’ Justin Kluivert came on Wednesday, but not much later also out. The wing attacker will not take action on Saturday due to an injury. There is a question mark behind the name of Christoffer Nkunku.
FC Cologne:
Wednesday was an important day for the fans of 1. FC Köln. The derby against neighbor Bayer Leverkusen was on the program on that day. But those who had high hopes for Cologne were disappointed. From the first whistle, Die Geißböcke were clearly the lesser of the two. After ninety minutes there was a harsh but fair judgment on the scoreboard of the Rhein-Energie-Stadion. Leverkusen made the short trip back knowing that the neighbor had been beaten by no less than 0-4.
“Today we were able to see why Leverkusen is at the top,” coach Markus Gisdol was realistic after the lost game. “They barely gave us an opportunity to get into the game.” A positive point of Wednesday’s match was the return of Jonas Hector. The experienced power could start in the base on Saturday. Normally, Ondrej Duda also returns to Gisdol’s starting eleven, after he was suspended last Wednesday.
