THE PREDICTION
Over the winter break, long-term manager Steffen Baumgart was replaced by former Basel coach Timo Schultz. Schultz takes charge of ‘The Billy Goats’ with them sitting in the bottom two and the automatic relegation places. Quite remarkably, Cologne have scored just ten goals in their 16 games so far this season. They now face a Heidenheim side that, following promotion last season, won three in a row before the break to move themselves into the top-half of the table. Despite that impressive run of form, they are now heading away to an under achieving side looking to kick start their campaign with a bit of new manager bounce and a Cologne victory would appear a good value bet.
TIP: COLOGNE TO WIN
