Bundesliga matchday 20 starts on Friday with two middling mid-table sides, Koln and Wolfsburg, playing in Cologne. This match between the 10th-placed ‘Billy Goats’ and the 12th-placed ‘Wolves’ comes with our prediction of a draw or an away win.
With 20 points from their 19 matches (W5, D5, L9), Koln are five points above the relegation zone. Wolfsburg are only a point behind their hosts (W5, D4, L10) and are four points above the bottom three clubs.
Koln lost 2-1 away at Freiburg last weekend, failing to build on the 2-1 win over Mainz a week before. That victory remains an exception, as it was their lone win across their last ten Bundesliga fixtures (D3, L6).
That victory over Mainz came at home, ending a four-game wait for a victory (D1, L3) in home matches. Going further back, Koln won just two of their last nine home games in all competitions (D2, L5).
Wolfsburg were also beaten in their weekend game, a 3-1 away defeat at Mainz. That ended a mini-revival of four points from two prior league games (W1, D1) that helped the Wolves move into the mid-table.
The threat of relegation is still hovering, and the visitors need to improve their away form. Wolfsburg have lost five of their last eight Bundesliga away games (W2, D1), including two in a row.

Our Köln vs Wolfsburg Prediction
The reverse fixture ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw where three goals were scored beyond the 90th minute, two by Koln including one in the 14th minute of added time. Recent form hasn’t been convincing though, as Koln could win only one of their last ten Bundesliga matches. Even their home form has been faltering, with only two wins from their last nine home matches in all competitions.
Wolfsburg could take advantage and win points on this trip, so our Koln vs Wolfsburg prediction is draw or Wolfsburg.
