Werder Bremen vs Cologne Predictions

• Cologne have lost four of their last five matches
• The visitors have the worst Expected Goals tally in the division, conceding twice as many goals as they’ve scored so far
• Werder won six of 10 meetings with sides below them last season

Two struggling sides meet

These two sides have both made poor starts to this new Bundesliga campaign. Since the pair drew 1-1 in May, the pair have both lost four of their following five league games. Cologne have claimed just one point from their first four games of this campaign, including a 3-1 defeat to Hoffenheim last weekend.

Werder have their own issues going on, losing 4-2 to Heidenheim in their last outing. However, they return home this weekend in hope of adding to Cologne’s problems.

Tough run for visitors

Cologne have scored only three times across their opening four games, while they’ve conceded six times in return. They look out of their depth at this level despite a solid season last term, as they’ve posted the worst Expected Goals tally across the division.

Bremen ran out 4-0 winners against Mainz in their last home game and the manner of that victory suggests they can come out on top of this one. The hosts won six of their 10 matches with sides below them last season and with Cologne seemingly sinking into that category, look to another home win.
