The Billy Goats' five-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga ended last time out when they suffered a 3-0 home defeat against Stuttgart. Despite the defeat, Stefan Baumgart’s team is still seven points clear of the relegation play-off spot in the German top flight.
It seems unlikely that the home team will be sucked into the fight for survival this season.
Although Koln’s recent home record in the Bundesliga is inconsistent, they have won five of their last eight league matches on home soil. Their recent home games in the Bundesliga have also been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their previous seven matches.
Koln will fancy their chances against Wolfsburg, as the Billy Goats have won two of the last three meetings with the Wolves.
The Wolves head to Koln in poor form as a 3-0 home defeat by RB Leipzig last time out in the Bundesliga means that Niko Kovac’s team is winless in four league games, having suffered three losses in the poor run.
Wolfsburg now has a mountain to climb to get into the Bundesliga’s European spots, as they trail the top six by eight points.
The Wolves' biggest issue of late in the German top-flight has been conceding too many goals, as they have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four Bundesliga matches.
Wolfsburg has also picked up just a point from their last two away games in the German top flight after recording three straight league wins on their travels in the Bundesliga.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Koln will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to move further away from the league’s bottom three.
