FC Koln and Borussia Dortmund will clash on Saturday evening at RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne. Koln will be battling hard to return to winning ways after going on a four-match winless run. They were defeated 3-1 by VfB Stuttgart on the road last weekend, with Ragnar Ache scoring their only goal in the 79th minute. This loss leaves them 13th in the Bundesliga standings with 24 points, just 4 points above the relegation zone.

Borussia Dortmund has almost given up any hope of catching up with Bayern Munich after dropping points in their last two games. They failed to recover from their 2-2 draw against Leipzig, losing 3-2 at home to Bayern. It was a bad weekend for Niko Kovac’s men, who conceded in the 87th minute to drop all the points. Earlier, they were thrashed 4-1 by Atalanta in the Champions League playoffs, losing 4-3 on aggregate.

Our Köln vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction

Borussia Dortmund is the -165 favorite, which is what I expected. Despite losing to Bayern, they showed incredible fighting spirit, taking the lead in the first half and equalizing deep into the second half. They’ll come into this fixture knowing that only 3 points can consolidate their second spot in the standings. However, their recent defensive record should motivate FC Koln to go for the win. Dortmund conceded 9 goals in their last three matches and have kept a single clean sheet in their previous five league games. Still, the head-to-head record favors them, having defeated FC Koln in their last four meetings. We’re looking forward to a 3-1 or 3-2 win for Dortmund.

Our prediction for FC Koln vs Borussia Dortmund: Both teams to score.
