  • Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
  • Venue: RheinEnergieStadion (Cologne)

For the fifth year in a row, FC Coln has been competing in the Bundesliga for the 2023/24 season. However, they are currently in a precarious position with only 16 points from their first 21 matches, placing them 16th on the table and at risk of losing their Bundesliga status. They have only managed to secure one win from their last eight league games. Their most recent match saw them draw 1-1 against Hoffenheim on their turf. With an xG of just 0.17 in that game, Timo Schultz’s squad can consider themselves fortunate to have avoided a loss.

This season, Werder Bremen appears to be considerably more stable than FC Koln, with a mid-table finish in sight. They have been victorious in three out of their last four matches. However, their previous match resulted in a 2-1 home loss against Heidenheim. Despite being favorites, Werder Bremen allowed too many opportunities to their opponents, who proved more efficient, leaving Werder empty-handed. Despite losing last weekend, Ole Werner’s team should be confident heading into their game against FC Koln due to their recent successful streak.

FC Koln vs Werder Bremen pick: Under 2.5 goals

In their last six home games, FC Koln has only managed to score four goals. Conversely, Werder Bremen has netted three goals in their past three away games. Therefore, the most reasonable bet for this match would be under 2.5 goals.

Werder Bremen team news

Werder Bremen also has numerous players who won’t be available for the game against FC Koln. Niklas Stark, Mitchell Weiser, Milos Veljkovic, Amos Pieper, and Leon Opitz will all be absent. Naby Keita and Leonardo Bittencourt are currently sick, and it should become more apparent closer to kickoff whether they’ll be able to participate in the forthcoming match.
