THE PREDICTION

Despite the absence of key striker Erling Haaland, Dortmund comfortably came through a tricky assignment away at Arminia Bielefeld last weekend, securing their third successive Bundesliga victory. Koln are a stronger side than Arminia, but with just one clean sheet to their name all season, Dortmund will be confident that they can breach the defence of their opponents more than once even without Haaland. With home advantage also being in their favour, there is little excuse for Dortmund not to pick up all three points here, although backing both teams to score is also worth serious consideration, with Marco Rose’s side yet to record a Bundesliga shut out in 2021-22.
