PREVIEW & PREDICTION – FC Koln vs Dortmund 2/02/2018
In the opening of the 21st round of the Bundesliga, starting at 19:30, the match Koln-Dortmund will be played.
With 10 points accumulated in the last four stages, the hosts seem to have reborn, as well as the hopes of avoiding relegation. Things could have been even worse, but in the previous round they gave two points on their own. Although they led to the break in confrontation with Augsburg, thanks to Jojic’s success, they wiped out the chance to win a new victory in the 77th minute, when Caiuby regained equality. It was the first goal scored by the Serbian midfielder this season. Although he faces a number of problems, Cologne hoped to take advantage of the weaker period of his adversary and to get a new positive result.
On the other hand, the guests continued the less successful evolutions in the previous round, when they drew 2-2 with Freiburg, even on their own ground. Although they opened the score at the 9th minute after Kagawa’s success, they avoided the defeat in the extreme, Toljan setting the final score in the 90 + 3 minute. Although he is in the middle position, the Japanese Shinji Kagawa scored for the third time in the last five stages. With three consecutive draws in 2018, Borussia is hardly on the 6th position and a possible participation in European chances is seriously questioned.
In the last direct confrontation, Dortmund scored 5-0. It was the only success in the last seven straight games.
PREDICTION: Dortmund to win @ 1.89
