Cologne vs SC Freiburg Predictions

• Cologne have lost five of their last seven home league games, including four by two goals or more
• Freiburg have won their last three away Bundesliga matches, including a 3-0 success in Monchengladbach
• Cologne have lost two of their last three matches 2-0

Freiburg have the form to stun stale Cologne 

Freiburg’s away form is good enough to send Cologne down to the division below unless the Billy Goats produce something special on Saturday.

Timo Schulz’s team be relegated this weekend if they lose this fixture at RheinEnergie Stadion and Mainz win at Heidenheim on Sunday. Their situation looks bleak as even a draw, if the 05ers win and Union Berlin draw with Bochum, will not be good enough to keep them in the top flight.

Florian Kainz’s 95th-minute penalty rescued a crucial point for them at third-bottom Mainz last Sunday, but they will face a much tougher task at home to a Freiburg side with plenty to fight for.

Back the visitors to record a comfortable win

Christian Streich’s team, who let a 1-0 lead slip, had a man sent off and missed a last-gasp penalty at home to Wolfsburg last week, are still on course to claim a Europa Conference League berth.

But they are only one point ahead of Augsburg and Hoffenheim, so know they can afford no further slip-ups. Freiburg have won their last three road games and their results suggest they are suited to playing away.

Although the win price is fine here, there is an opportunity to bag better odds by backing the visitors to win by more than a goal. Calamitous Cologne have lost five of their last seven home league games, including four by two goals or more.
