Third division club Wurzburg will look to stretch their fancied visitors from the Bundesliga, Koln, as the teams play in the first-round fixture of the 2026-27 DFB Pokal. This match on Monday at Flyeralarm Arena between the ‘Red Shorts’ and the ‘Billy Goats’ is likely to be an exciting game with our prediction backing both teams to score goals.
Wurzburg were knocked out of the first round in eight of their 11 appearances in this competition, including their last five. Koln have won this tournament four times, with the last title coming in 1982-83, and lost to Bayern Munich in the second round last season.
A comprehensive 4-0 home win over Wehen last week meant that the Kickers started their league campaign with four points from two games (W1, D1). They now have three wins from their last four games (D1), and the record is equally impressive at home with nine wins out of the last ten competitive fixtures here (D1).
Coln ended their pre-season preparations with a 2-1 win over Real Sociedad for a second victory in three games (D1). Having finished last league campaign with two defeats out of three (D1), the ‘Billy Goats’ need this to get back to form. They haven’t won on the road since October last year, but this lower league opponent could help break that rut.

Our Kickers Wurzburg vs Köln Prediction
It’s a glamorous tie for the third division side Wurzburg as they look to stretch the more-fancied Bundesliga club Koln. The hosts were dumped out in the first round of this competition in each of their last five appearances, which could work against them. Koln are not yet into competitive rhythm but would loathe losing to a lower division club so early in the season.
This match could test the defensive capabilities of the visitors, with the hosts likely to pounce. That’s why our Kickers Wurzburg vs Koln prediction is BTTS.
