Game Preview
In the Bundesliga standings, FC Koln and Wolfsburg are only separated by four points going into their matchup on Saturday afternoon at RheinEnergieStadion. The Wolves are in seventh position in the rankings after a stretch of three straight losses, while the Billy Goats are in 12th, seven points above the bottom three.
Despite having the majority of the ball at Mercedes-Benz Arena, FC Koln suffered their first defeat of 2023 last weekend, falling to VfB Stuttgart 3-0. Steffen Baumgart’s team has had plenty of success since the beginning of the year, so they will be optimistic about getting back on track this weekend.
It is important to keep in mind that Koln defeated Werder Bremen 7-1 after the winter break, and then held Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena. The Billy Goats extended their post-World Cup unbeaten run to five games with a 3-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt after back-to-back draws with Schalke 04 and RB Leipzig.
Let’s check the latest picks, Bundesliga news, stats and Bundesliga expert picks for Köln vs Wolfsburg. We’ve plenty of Bundesliga predictions for you to consider.
Wolfsburg appeared set to compete for a spot in Europe when they racked up a 10-game unbeaten streak between October and January, winning seven games and drawing three. Even better, Niko Kovac’s team managed to win six games in a row during that time, scoring 11 goals in triumphs against SC Freiburg and Hertha Berlin after racking up four wins before the winter break.
The Wolves, however, have significantly deteriorated since then, managing to earn only one point from their previous four games. After losing consecutively to Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich, Wolfsburg was held to a scoreless tie by bottom-place Schalke 04 before last weekend’s 3-0 home loss to RB Leipzig.
Koln can be confident despite last time out’s shocking loss to Stuttgart because they have only dropped two of their 10 home league games this year, while also giving up 10 goals. It’s also important to remember that Wolfsburg lost to Koln 4-2 in the first meeting back in September, so it won’t be simple for Kovac’s team to snap their four-game losing streak on Saturday.
