Hoffenheim and FC Koln will both seek to rise into the European football slots when they meet in a Friday Bundesliga game. The two sides are tied on seven points, but Koln are three places above their hosts in the standings. Below is our prediction for this match.
Hoffenheim rescued a point over the weekend in their 1-1 draw with Freiburg and hope for a winning return at home. They haven't won a home match yet, but in all fairness, their two home games weren't easy.
Their first at PreZero Arena ended 3-1 in favor of Eintracht Frankfurt before they were humbled 4-1 by Bayern Munich. While these were tough outings, there will be questions on their defensive performance in the season.
FC Koln aren’t doing any better than their hosts. They are coming from a 2-1 home loss at the hands of Stuttgart. That was their second straight defeat and third winless outing on the bounce.
The fact that in two of their last three matches Koln conceded three goals means they also have a duty to tighten up at the back just like Hoffenheim. Though they are struggling in defence, Koln are doing well in attack.
They’ve scored in each of their six matches this season, including the DFB Pokal first-round match. Save for their win against Mainz, both teams scored in every other of Koln’s matches.

Our Hoffenheim vs Köln Prediction
Hoffenheim are coming from an away draw and would want to improve on it when they return home. However, there hasn’t been a lot of comfort at home, and their struggles seem likely to extend. The one area Hoffenheim need to work on to improve their fortunes is in defence.
The hosts haven't failed to score, but their good work is undone when they get to defend. It has almost been the same case with Koln, who have one clean sheet to show for the season but scored in all their six matches. Our prediction for Hoffenheim v Koln is for both teams to score.
