Koln will hope to take advantage of Bayer Leverkusen’s slip of form as the sides meet in the Rhine derby on Sunday in the Bundesliga matchday nine. This match at RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne between the 13th-placed ‘Billy Goats’ and the 6th-placed ‘Black and Reds’ could be a chance for the hosts to stay unbeaten, and our match prediction backs a home win or draw.
Koln have nine points (W2, D3, L3) and started this round only two points above the relegation battle. Leverkusen started this round with 13 points (W4, D1, L3) and are two points outside the top four but only above seventh on goal difference.
A 1-1 away draw at Union Berlin kept Koln unbeaten in three competitive matches (W1, D2). They have just one win from their last seven Bundesliga matches (D3, L3), which explains their low league position.
Yet, Koln are a strong force at home, staying unbeaten in five home competitive matches (W3, D2).
Leverkusen were beaten 1-0 at home by Marseille on Thursday in the Europa League. It was a third defeat in four competitive games (W1) with the visitors losing momentum. That run saw them lose two in a row in the Bundesliga, while they have just one win on the road in the league this season (W1, D1, L2)

Our Köln vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
The Rhine Derby comes at a wrong time for Leverkusen, perhaps, looking at their recent rut. They have lost three of their last four competitive games and wouldn’t mind a draw here to get back on track. Koln are doing nothing great but have been competitive. That sits true for their home form, where they are yet to lose any competitive match this season.
Leverkusen have won each of the last five head-to-head matches, but their recent slump may have come at a wrong time. Our Koln vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction is Koln or draw.
