Prediction published on 17/12/2023, 01:12  by Sridhar in Bundesliga Predictions

Freiburg will look to continue their push towards top-five spots as they welcome a struggling Koln side this weekend. This Bundesliga matchday 15 will be played at the Europa-Park Stadion which is the home venue of Freiburg. The hosts are 8th before this round with 21 points while the visitors are 16th with 10 points. Freiburg are four points behind top-five spots and need to be consistent to chase that dream. They are coming off a 2-0 loss to West Ham in the Europa League, but that was a blip after three straight wins. Two of those have come in the league and the hosts have seven points from their last three Bundesliga matches. Home form is slightly better with eight points from their last four league games at this venue, raising hopes that they can win and keep pushing for a better spot.

Koln are in the relegation spots with goal difference keeping them behind Union Berlin. The visitors have improved slightly over the recent games though, with six points from their last five league games. This sequence saw them win once, and draw thrice while losing just once – to Bayern Munich. Even that loss was by a 1-0 margin, which underlines their growing strengths. The goals haven’t been forthcoming though, with Koln having the worst scoring record of the season at this stage. They would need to improve on that count as they look to address their poor away record. Koln have lost four of their last six away trips, winning just once, but that win has come in their latest away game in the Bundesliga.
