Cologne vs Videoton FC Predictions

• Cologne have scored at least twice in all of their games in 2022/23.
• Fehervar’s last two away defeats came by a combined scoreline of 6-0.
• Cologne scored at least three times in all of their home wins since February.

Cologne can leave the first leg smelling of roses

Anything but qualification to the Europa Conference League group stage will be seen as a failure for Bundesliga outfit Cologne as they are overwhelming favourites to cruise by the Hungarian challengers, MOL Fehervar.

In fact, Cologne will likely be at the top end of the outright betting for the Conference League when the competition proper takes shape, and to inspire further confidence that they’ll at least get there is their impressive seven-goal haul across the first three competitive games of 2022/23.

Those goals all came against sides that are just as, if not tougher opponents on paper than Fehervar, including last season’s Europa League semi-finalists Leipzig and fellow top-flight Schalke. As such, we predict that Cologne will make reasonably light work of this first-leg.

A long way home for Fehervar

With two multi-goal defeats without reply across their last three away trips, MOL Fehervar look right up against it here in Cologne. Formerly known as Videoton and MOL Vidi, Fehervar lost three of their five prior encounters with German opponents, each time by a margin of at least two goals!

We predict that Cologne will win this game by a -1 handicap busting scoreline, with a smaller stakes selection going the way of a 3-0 home win.
