THE PREDICTION
Although Freiburg were beaten by West Ham this past Thursday in the Europa League, don’t read too much into that with their place in the knockout stage already secure. In the Bundesliga, Christian Streich’s side have won their last two and are in a good position to kick on further. FC Cologne have revived themselves recently with four points from the last six available and will look to make themselves as difficult to break down as possible, keeping bodies behind the ball and maintaining a solid defensive shape. Therefore, Freiburg will need to show patience and even if they end up doing enough to win, it is unlikely to be by a substantial margin, so backing under 2.5 goals looks a smart move.
BETTING TIP: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
