Hoffenheim - Köln predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Köln are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Hoffenheim should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

It’s highly unlikely that Köln will manage to get some points this round. Hoffenheim are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

The hosts returned from their most recent Bundesliga trip with a point in their bag. Based on the betting odds available, it was always going to be a tight game and Hoffenheim can be satisfied with the fact they held level both at the halftime mark and after the full-time whistle.

Koln spent most of their previous Bundesliga match on the back foot, and the first half ended in a tie. The odds were decidedly against them, however, despite the fact they were playing at home. Their opponents Stuttgart ultimately took a narrow lead in the late game and won the game 1:2.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Hoffenheim’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

With 8 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, The Billy Goats’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Friday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

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 1 odds offered at 1xbet are great for value, too.
