Sandhausen vs Köln Prediction & Betting Tips - DFB Pokal
by Kennedy Kechula in DFB Pokal Predictions
Cologne have the chance to bag their first win of the season when they switch gears to the DFB Pokal. The three-time Bundesliga champions start off with a first round away match at Sandhausen. Read on for our preview and the prediction.
Sandhausen are targeting an improvement on their second round exit last season. They come here off the back of a fine start to the season, winning all three games so far.
After losing each of their last four matches against Cologne, they will be motivated by the solid start in the 3. Liga. The last time the two met was in 2019 when Sandhausen took a half time lead but lost 3-1.
Last season they put up a brave fight against Bayer Leverkusen in their 5-2 loss in the second round. Leverkusen had to score three times in the final five minutes to win the match.
Cologne, newly relegated from Bundesliga, have had a tough start to life in the second-tier. They have a point from their opening two matches, and conceded four times in the process.
The positive side is that they scored in both matches, which they’ll want to build on coming into this game. They are also undefeated in six matches against Sandhausen, only failing to score once, while they won four. With the head-to-head advantage, they’d feel as the favorites coming here.
A major concern for the visitors, however, will be the fact that they have just one clean sheet in the last 16 competitive matches. As they face a team that has started the season confidently, defence may be an area for Gerhard Struber to address immediately.

Our Sandhausen vs Köln Prediction
Sandhausen come into this game as the underdogs. However, with three straight wins to start the season, Cologne will need to be at the top of their game to take on the third-tier side. Indeed, the visitors have dominated this fixture, but that could be the motivation for Sandhausen to do better.
Their positive run at this stage of the season means they’ve been confident in attack and we can bet on the hosts to go for goals. Cologne also netted in all their matches this season, and rarely fail to score. Our prediction for Sandhausen v Cologne is for both teams to score.
