Cologne vs Slovacko Predictions

• Both teams scored in seven of Cologne’s last ten games.
• There were also goals at both ends in seven of Slovacko’s last ten games.
• Only one of the last 11 sides to face Slovacko stopped them from scoring.

Inconsistent Cologne look to kick on

Each of the Cologne’s games this season have resulted differently than the one following, though that’s perhaps a trend that they’ll want to see continued here as they come into this Europa Conference League clash on the back of a 1-0 defeat to surprise Bundesliga leaders, Union Berlin.

A common theme has been goals at both ends this season, with seven of the last ten games involving Cologne resulting in such a manner. With the odds around a home win dreadfully short here, we must find value elsewhere.

It should be said that Cologne are rightful favourites and should win this game against Czech outfit Slovacko, though 1/4 at the time of writing is simply unpalatable and that price perhaps doesn’t reflect the true gulf in class between these sides.

Slovacko can give it a go

After holding perennial European participants Partizan Belgrade to a 3-3 draw in the opening round, hopes are high that Slovacko can cause Cologne some problems here.

That result was part of a current three-game run of stalemates, each of which saw both teams score. We fancy a repeat here as far as BTTS is concerned, though we’re going for a small stakes selection on a narrow 2-1 win for Cologne.
