Wolfsburg vs Cologne Predictions

• Wolfsburg have failed to win any of their last nine Bundesliga home games
• Cologne have avoided defeat in seven of their last eight competitive away games
• Three of Wolfsburg’s last seven home league games have finished 1-1

Confident Cologne can stop Wolves in their tracks

Cologne are capable of coming away from the Volkswagen Arena with at least a point as they prepare to tackle a Wolfsburg side that were fortunate to draw at home to Mainz last time out.

The 05ers dominated the game only to be denied twice by the woodwork after creating many more chances than the Wolves.  Paul Simonis’s men must now tackle a confident Cologne side that have won back-to-back league games on their return to the top tier.

The Billy Goats stormed to promotion last season as Bundesliga.2 champions with a record of 18 wins, seven draws and nine losses. Their games in the second half of the campaign were generally low-scoring with Cologne conceding no more than once in any of their last 12.

Back a 1-1 draw at Volkswagen Arena 

That defensive trait has continued into this season, where they have beaten Mainz 1-0 on the road and beaten Freiburg 4-1 at home in their opening two Bundesliga matches. Lukas Kwasniok’s team could prove too tough a nut for Wolfsburg to crack on Saturday.

The Wolves still seem to be missing some ingredients to turn them into a top-half side and will struggle to score twice, having only managed multiple goals in two of their last eight home Bundesliga matches.

A 1-1 scoreline looks the most likely with Cologne worth backing in the double chance market.
