Two of the Bundesliga’s out-of-form teams go head-to-head at the Volkswagen Arena as Wolfsburg hosts Koln in the Bundesliga.
The Wolves are in need of a winWolfsburg is currently in 11th place in the Bundesliga table, seven points adrift of the league's European spots.
A poor recent run of league form has hampered their chances of breaking back into the top six of the Bundesliga. In fact, the Wolves have won just one of their last six league games.
However, they have now drawn their last two Bundesliga matches against Mainz and Heidenheim.
Both of the draws followed a low-scoring pattern, as four of their previous five matches in the German top-flight have produced under 2.5 goals.
Even playing at the Volkswagen Arena has not proven an advantage for Wolfsburg, as Niko Kovac’s team has won just one of their last five home games in the Bundesliga.
Their recent home matches in the Bundesliga have certainly delivered goals, as four of the Wolves' previous five games on home soil have produced over 2.5 goals.
Koln looking to end their winless runThe Billy Goats are currently in 17th place in the Bundesliga table, three points from the safety of 15th place Union Berlin. However, they are only behind 16th place Mainz, who are in the relegation play-off spot, courtesy of an inferior goal difference.
A five-game winless run has not helped Koln’s position in the Bundesliga table. A 4-0 home defeat by Dortmund last time out saw the Billy Goats fail to score for the fourth time in their previous five outings in the Bundesliga.
Koln have not travelled well in recent months, as the visitors have lost five of their previous seven away games in the German top-flight. They have also failed to score in four of their last six games in the Bundesliga.
What am I backing?This game is a difficult one to predict. However, the bet I am backing is a narrow home victory, mainly due to Koln’s poor away results.
