Greuther Fürth - Köln betting tips and odds

The 3.90 odds on a home win result mark the hosts as clear underdogs. Things are fairly lopsided, in fact, so backing such an outcome would be quite a longshot.

With 2.00 odds for an away win, Köln have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

Greuther Fürth’s crushing away defeat in the last round was painful but predictable. Hopes were up for their fans at half-time as they maintained an unlikely lead, but it all came crashing down in the second half, ending in a 4:1 loss in an away game at Bayern München .

Köln’s previous Bundesliga match ended in victory, though it was a close one. Top online bookmakers considered them to have the upper hand against Eintracht Frankfurt going in. While the first half was inconclusive, they bagged a 1:0 home win.

The first step Greuther Fürth need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

As far as the head-to-head stats are concerned, Koln already confirmed their status as favourites. They defeated the away team previously in the season, leaving little doubt as to which squad is in better form.

Marius Funk, Robin Kehr, Gideon Jung, Jessic Ngankam will not be able to play for the hosts this Saturday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 2.75 odds offered at 10Bet are great for value, too.
