Koln

Koln has been a typical mid-table team this season. Not good, but not terrible either. They are going through a somewhat bad period, losing three of their last five Bundesliga games and dropping out of the DFB Pokal after getting thumped 1-4 by Bayern Munich.

Still, Koln were solid at home, and Hamburger SV is not shining, so they should do well here. Koln has only one win in three home games, but it was an impressive one – 4-1 against SC Freiburg. They lost to VfB Stuttgart and drew against Augsburg in the other two, so this is an ideal game for a new home win after a while.

Koln’s recent Bundesliga games were all tight, with their last three games ending with under 2.5 goals. Again, this game also looks like possibly low-scoring to me.

Hamburger SV

Hamburger SV lost back-to-back Bundesliga games against RB Leipzig and Wolfsburg before winning 0-1 away against Heidenheim in the cup.

Currently, Hamburger SV is four points above the relegation zone, but they could drop further if they do not start scoring more. With only 7 goals in 8 games, Hamburger SV is currently the second-worst attacking team in the Bundesliga.

Also, Hamburger SV is one of the three Bundesliga sides still without an away win this season, drawing twice and losing twice on the road.

The Betting Verdict

Hamburger SV beat Koln twice last season, but this Koln side is improved, and Hamburger SV is struggling now.

Koln was decent at home; they faced a couple of strong opponents, while Hamburger SV struggled and failed to win in any of their four away games.

This should be a close game, where I believe Koln will edge it at odds above evens.

The Pick :

Koln 1-0 Hamburger SV
