Darmstadt vs Koln Predictions


Both of these sides are in the relegation battle and there is little to separate them. I’m therefore backing a draw with a 1-1 score-line looking likely.

  • Darmstadt have drawn their last 2 matches.
  • Darmstadt have seen BTTS Yes in 9 of their last 11 matches (Bundesliga).
  • Koln have drawn 2 of their last 3 matches.
  • Koln have seen Under 2.5 goals in their last 3 matches. 

Head to Head


Koln hold an impressive 7-1 advantage over FC Koln across 10 previous clashes with two draws.

The sides last met in 2019 in 2. Bundesliga as Darmstadt won 2-1 away from home.

Darmstadt Form & Team News


Newly promoted Darmstadt sit 15th in the table with a one-point buffer to the relegation zone. Their last five matches have seen three defeats (LLLDD) with 14 goals leaked.

After successive Bundesliga wins, they lost 3-1 at home to RB Leipzig. An 8-0 humiliation followed at Bayern Munich before a 2-1 home defeat to Bochum. 

Darmstadt have drawn their last two matches. A 0-0 home stalemate vs Mainz preceded a 1-1 draw at Freiburg.

Coach Torsten Lieberknecht has four injuries in his squad. Goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen has a hip injury and will miss this match.

Fringer striker Fraser Hornby is out with an ankle injury. Young striker Fabio Torsiello is doubtful and winger Braydon Manu will play no part.

Darmstadt Predicted Lineup


Brunst-Zollner; Zimmermann, Muller, Maglica; Bader, Mehlem, Holland, Nurnberger; Skarke, Seydel, Honsak.

Koln Form & Team News


FC Cologne sit at the foot of the table. They have lost eight of their 12 Bundesliga fixtures.

A 3-1 home win over Borussia Monchengladbach in round eight is their only victory of the season. A 6-0 loss at RB Leipzig preceded consecutive draws: 1-1 at home to Augsburg and 1-1 at Bochum. 

Koln’s last match saw a 1-0 home loss to Bayern Munich. They allowed 3.62 xG and only put up 0.21 xG themselves.

Coach Steffen Baumgart has only player ruled out and three more question marks. Right back Noah Katterbach is out injured. 

Veteran goalkeeper Philipp Pentke is a major doubt. Young defender Max Finkgrafe and midfielder Jacob Steen Christensen could both return.

Koln Predicted Lineup


Schwabe; Kilian, Chabot, Hubers; Carstensen, Martel, Kainz, Maina; Ljubicic; Thielmann, Selke.

Verdict

I see this match ending in a draw. I'm also backing a 1-1 correct score bet which represents excellent value.
