Köln vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga
by Joseph King | in Bundesliga Prediction
The German Bundesliga enters matchday 18 with relegation-threatened Koln hosting fifth-place Borussia Dortmund. Koln find themselves in a precarious position as they sit 17th in the table with a total of 11 points with half of the season already in the books. The Billy Goats trail 16th-place Mainz on goal differential and sit three points behind Union Berlin for complete safety in 15th. The hosts are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Heidenheim in their last fixture. It might ultimately be seen as a disappointing result as Koln were the betting favorites yet were unable to really take control of the match. The draw moved Koln’s home record to 1-3-4 on the season and was only the team’s 11th goal in the competition. Koln could consider themselves fortunate to only be three points from safety considering their anemic goal-scoring production in the 2023/24 campaign.
Borussia Dortmund are having a mixed season as they sit fifth in the Bundesliga standings with a record of eight wins, six draws and three defeats. This has them trailing RB Leipzig by three points for a spot in the top four and the Champions League. Things have gone much better for Edin Terzic’s side in Europe’s elite club competition as they topped the group of death which included PSG, AC Milan and Newcastle. BVB haven’t been able to achieve the same level of play which saw them lose out on the title on the final matchday last season. Fans will be hoping the team will be able to take the positive momentum gained in their recent 3-0 away victory over Darmstadt and carry it over into this fixture. The visitors are seeking back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly two months after experiencing a rocky finish to 2023.
