Hoffenheim vs Köln Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

An interesting battle for three points will be played out between Hoffenheim and Koln this weekend. This Bundesliga matchday 21 to be played at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena on Sunday will have interesting consequences in the battle for European places as well as relegation struggle. The hosts are 8th in the standings ahead of this round while the visitors are 16th with 15 points. Hoffenheim have a five-point deficit to make up with sixth-placed Eintracht but that is not their biggest concern at the moment. Their form over the last few months has been poor as they won just one of their last 12 competitive matches. Even in the league, a winless six-game run where they drew and lost three games each is a concern.

Koln are in the relegation play-off place, and are three points adrift of safety. They are coming off a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in their last league game. That made it five points across their last four league games, losing just once during that run. Yet, the visitors will be concerned about sustaining the momentum as they haven’t won consecutive league games throughout the season. The challenge is equally hard on the road, where they have struggled all along. Koln have won just one of their ten away league games this season and lost six of those. Three draws in that sequence suggest they could up their game, but it remains to be seen how they turn up on this trip.
