Koln will look to make the most of their impressive record against Schalke to move away from the Bundesliga relegation zone when the sides meet on matchday seven on Saturday. This match at RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne between the 12th-placed ‘Billy Goats’ and the 15th-placed ‘Royal Blues’ could tilt the home team’s way, and our prediction is a Koln win.
With seven points (W2, D1, L3), Koln started this round two points above the relegation zone and three points behind the top six. Schalke have five points (W1, D2, L3) and are only outside the relegation zone on goal difference.
A 1-0 away defeat at Eintracht Frankfurt last Friday extended Koln’s recent struggles in the Bundesliga. They have lost three of their last five league fixtures (W1, D1), although they are yet to lose back-to-back games.
Part of their success is because of the home form, as Koln are unbeaten in three home league fixtures this season (W2, D1).
Schalke were beaten 1-0 at home by Mainz last weekend to extend their winless run to three league games (D1, L2). That included consecutive losses as the ‘Royal Blues’ continue to struggle on their return to the Bundesliga.
Their away competitive form has seen them alternate results (W2, L2), although they would be keen to change that after losing 2-1 on their last trip to Freiburg.

Our Köln vs Schalke 04 Prediction
After starting the season with back-to-back wins in competitive matches, Koln have struggled for momentum. They won just one of their last five league fixtures, although never losing back-to-back games. Their home form has been impressive with two wins out of three, which could trouble the Bundesliga newcomers Schalke, who have lost their latest two league fixtures.
Koln have won six of their last seven competitive matches against Schalke, and that run could continue here, aided by Schalke’s indifferent form. Our Koln vs Schalke prediction is Koln wins.
