Our prediction for the match Bayer vs Koln
The clubs spent the previous season in diametrically different ways. If Xabi Alonso rewrote history in Leverkusen, making Neverkusen an invincible Neverlusen (which naturally resulted in a “double” – the club won the championship and the cup tournament), when “the Goats” flew out of the Bundesliga from the penultimate place.
Now, the popular club, being under the leadership of Struber, seriously claims the role of the strongest in the 2. Bundesliga, winning twice as often as losing. Speaking about the game against Eintracht in Braunschweig, the team won minimally. “The Pharmacists” returned to the Champions League quite successfully, having secured the play-offs ahead of schedule. As for the Bundesliga, it is clearly Bayern’s main pursuer. And the club also confidently dealt with Hoffenheim in the previous round.
By the way, Wirtz and the company knocked out “the Star of the South” in the cup confrontation, moreover, that happened on the away field. The guests did not have any particular problem with Sandhausen, Holstein and Hertha on their way to the quarter-finals. It is reasonable to mention that Carl Zeiss and Elversberg had been overcome without conceding a single goal before the higher mentioned successes.
