by Ian John in Bundesliga Predictions
1FC Koln hosts SC Freiburg on Matchday Two of the new Bundesliga season, with both teams having somewhat contrasting results on the opening week of action. Koln boss Lukas Kwasniok saw The Billy Goats pick up maximum points from their first game of the season, while Julian Schuster's Breisgau-Brazilians tumbled to a surprise home defeat. Who will our prediction back to be the victors in this match, or will another market be a better option to select?
Kicking things off this season, 1FC Koln played their first competitive game in the DFB Pokal away to Jahn Regensburg. They scored two late goals in injury time to turn a 1-0 deficit into a turnaround 2-1 victory. The confidence from that win was evident in their opening Bundesliga fixture when they travelled to FSV Mainz and earned a 1-0 victory thanks to another late strike. The win leaves them seventh in the fledgling Bundesliga I table.
After finishing 5th last season, Freiburg were expected to start strongly once again this season. They kicked off their campaign with a comfortable 2-0 away win over Sportfreund Lotte in the DFB Pokal First Round and then faced Augsburg at home on the opening day of the season, where they succumbed to a surprising 3-1 defeat. A result which leaves them 15th in the table at present.

Our Köln vs Freiburg Prediction
Our prediction for the 1FC Koln vs. SC Freiburg Bundesliga match is: Under 2.5 Goals.
Both these teams had contrasting starts to the season, Koln winning away, Freiburg losing at home. However, the long-term data for fixtures between these two teams paints a picture of tight, close and low-scoring encounters, especially in recent seasons where goals have been at a premium. Neither side will want to lose this game, so another close game looks in prospect, hence the under 2.5 goals pick here.
