Augsburg vs Cologne Predictions

• Augsburg have won four of their last five games
• Cologne have lost three of their last five matches
• The visitors have not kept a clean sheet in the last 14 meetings between these two

Augsburg on the up

The race to avoid the drop in the Bundesliga this season is a fierce one and Augsburg were right in the thick of the relegation battle until winning four of their last five games, including a shock 2-1 success against Bayern Munich.

They host Cologne on Friday looking to continue their surge up the table after losing just one of their last seven outings.

The visitors on the other hand are sliding towards the bottom two after just a pair of victories from their last 14 matches. They have lost eight of those and could be set for more misery, with their away record leaving plenty to be desired as they visit the WWK Arena.

Entertaining affair likely

The Billy Goats have taken just nine points from their 11 road trips this season and have lost three of their last four on their travels.

Augsburg are unbeaten in their last seven home games, winning four of those, and they look a solid bet to continue their impressive run of form with another victory in their own back yard.

The last six head-to-heads between these two teams have seen both teams score and repeat of that could be on the cards when they meet this time around, take a 2-1 win for Augsburg.
