HOFFENHEIM VS FC KOLN PREVIEW & PREDICTION
FC Köln has still not given up hope of enforcement. Then some points have to be taken, starting Saturday in the difficult away match against TSG Hoffenheim.
TSG Hoffenheim:
Hoffenheim still has a good chance of European football, if we assume that the number seven of the rankings also belongs to the Europa League. Hoffe is currently at that location. Before the international break, the team had the right shape; Hoffenheim is now unbeaten four games in a row.
Trainer Julian Nagesmann was optimistic about the last seven games of the season on Thursday. ‘The recent past is optimistic for the final sprint of this season,’ says the coach. ‘We could often become dangerous in the last matches, including visiting Borussia Mönchengladbach.’ That was the last match for the international break, which ended in a 3-3 tie.
Hoffenheim is not completely complete in the personnel field. Kerem Demibay, Dennis Geiger and Stefan Posch are still missing due to injuries. The betting of Ermin Bicakcic is questionable, but whether or not this central defender plays along will not make the difference between victory and loss on Saturday.
FC Koln:
FC Köln has another glimmer of hope. The last game for the club from the Domstad yielded a victory. Bayer Leverkusen was defeated 2-0 in the Rheinderby. Köln is now on twenty points, with seven races to go. That is five less than Mainz 05, the number sixteen that has been completely out of track in recent months. If their collapse continues, Köln still has a chance of life retention. Next week, the delegations will play the crucial home match against Mainz.
Goalkeeper Timo Horn spoke Wednesday about the upcoming matches of his team. ‘Because of a good second half of the season and poor performance of our competitors, we are now where we are,’ the keeper said. “But the gap is still five points. Yet the belief in the miracle is very great. ” Leonardo Bittencourt, who played an important role against Leverkusen, is not sure for Saturday. If he did not play along, this is a loss for Cologne, which has taken more points since the return of the Brazilian.
PREDICTION: Hoffenheim to win @ 1.54
