FC Koln vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips &— BTTS

Heading into Saturday’s Bundesliga clash, Koln aims to end a four-game streak without a win, a run dating back to early December. Despite being in the relegation zone with a mere 11 points accumulated halfway through the season, Steffen Baumgart’s squad needs significant improvement to evade relegation by May.

Koln’s home performance has improved recently, with over half of their 11 points this season earned from their last five matches at RheinEnergieStadion. Only Bayern Munich managed to take all three points from them during this period. Moreover, they have a strong historical home record against Dortmund, having lost only twice in their last eight encounters with BVB.

After ending a six-game winless streak with a 3-0 victory against SV Darmstadt 98 last weekend, Borussia Dortmund enters this match with renewed confidence. This crucial win positions them just three points away from the top four.

Predicting this game is challenging, but both teams scoring (BTTS) might be the optimal choice on Saturday. In their last seven home games against Dortmund, Koln has had BTTS. Also, in seven of their last ten home games in general, Koln has had BTTS. Additionally, in 11 of their last 13 away league games, Dortmund has had BTTS.

Given the past history of this contest, I’m putting my faith in both teams to score and don´t be surprised if Koln can take a point or more against a still inconsistent BVB side.
