Borussia M'gladbach - Köln predictions

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Köln. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

From the present perspective, the situation is evident. Considering the strength of Borussia M'gladbach and the fact that The Billy Goats are given 3.23 odds to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a remarkable surprise.

With $ODDS_HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY betting odds to win their previous away match, it’s fair to say Borussia M'Gladbach were never the favourites to do such a thing, let alone pull it in an impressive manner. Yet after taking an early lead they eased to a St. Pauli HT/FT victory which will be a huge boost for their morale ahead of Saturday.

Köln performed admirably in their previous Bundesliga match – though their success was not exactly a surprise. They were tagged as favourites – though not by a large margin – and played on home turf, so the odds were stacked against their opponents Hamburger SV.

Experts have pointed at Borussia M.’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Bundesliga games.

The Billy Goats have scored 6 times in their previous 3 games. If their attacking line continues the fine scoring form, the Over markets seem like a sure bet.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.64 at Pncl.
