Hoffenheim will look to maintain their top-three push in the Bundesliga as they meet Koln in a matchday 23 fixture on Saturday. This match in Cologne between the 12th-placed ‘Billy Goats’ and the third-placed Kraichgauers comes with our prediction of an away win.
Ahead of this matchday’s fixtures, Koln’s 23 points (W6, D5, L11) put them four points above the relegation zone. Hoffenheim have 45 points (W14, D3, L5) and are three points above fourth.
Koln lost 3-1 away at Stuttgart last weekend to continue their recent downtrend. They have lost three of the last four Bundesliga games (W1) to slip down the table and are now only marginally above the relegation zone.
Their home form is still slightly better, as Koln have two wins from their last three home Bundesliga matches (L1), although they lost the latest to Leipzig earlier in the month of February.
Hoffenheim lost the reverse fixture 1-0 back in October but arrive here with improved form, helping their push in the top-three chase. They won 3-0 at home against Freiburg last weekend, making it their sixth win over the last seven Bundesliga fixtures.
Hoffenheim still need to improve their away form, as they won only two of their last six league trips (D2, L2). That said, both those wins have come in their last three away games, raising their confidence.

Our Köln vs Hoffenheim Prediction
Koln won the reverse fixture 1-0 back in October, but their form coming into this game is completely different. Hoffenheim have consistently improved their recent results to move up to third, while Koln are languishing in the bottom half of the table. The hosts are only four points above the relegation zone, and three defeats in their last four Bundesliga matches don't inspire confidence.
The hosts have an incentive to improve, but the visitors could be unrelenting. That’s why our Koln vs Hoffenheim prediction is Hoffenheim wins.
