Recent Form

FC Koln, however, has been struggling. They have lost four and drawn one of their last five games, putting them in 16th place with just one point and a negative goal difference of -5.

Head-to-Head History

The history between the two sides is evenly split. In their last encounter on 5th May 2023, FC Koln emerged victorious, winning 2-1. However, in the match before that on 9th November 2022, Bayer Leverkusen turned the tables, winning 2-1.

Prediction

The predictions favor a Bayer Leverkusen win, with a 45% chance of home victory and a 45% chance of a draw. The odds for an FC Koln win are significantly lower at 10%. Leverkusen's home form and attacking prowess, along with their strong defensive setup, suggest that they are the favorites to win this match.

In conclusion, while FC Koln will be looking to upset the odds, the numbers and recent form strongly suggest a victory for Bayer Leverkusen. However, as always, the beautiful game is full of surprises, and nothing is certain until the final whistle.
