TSG Hoffenheim vs Cologne Predictions

• Both teams have scored in Hoffenheim’s last 12 Bundesliga home games.
• Cologne have scored in three of their last four Bundesliga games.

Billy Goats boost prospects

Cologne boosted their survival prospects with a win over Frankfurt last weekend but they may struggle to extend their unbeaten run to three matches against Hoffenheim on Sunday.

The hosts are in a poor run of form but they are unbeaten across their last three home league matches and Cologne have struggled on the road this season, with their only win coming at rock-bottom Darmstadt and six of their ten trips ending in defeat.

Expect goals at PreZero Arena

The Billy Goats have scored in three of their last four matches, though, and Hoffenheim last home clean sheet in the Bundesliga was all the way back in April last year.

They have seen both teams score in all 12 home league matches since then, so backing goals at both ends looks a good choice and, with each of their home wins this season being by a 3-1 scoreline, that looks a solid correct score prediction.

Anytime goalscorer punters should consider Hoffenheim top scorer Maximilian Beier, who has eight Bundesliga goals in 19 appearances this season. He has scored twice and assisted once in his last three games and netted away to Cologne in their 3-1 win in September.
