Union Berlin
Union Berlin is going through a bad period, collecting only one point from their last five Bundesliga games. Their 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig last week was their third in a row, which increases the pressure on them.
On a positive note, they have a pretty good record against Koln, remaining unbeaten in 10 of their last 11 duels.
Union Berlin are still adapting under their new coach and searching for form, but they have to do something quickly to avoid the relegation playoff spot.
One more win from their last three games should be good, and they have an ideal chance now against Koln and next week against Mainz.
Koln
Koln lost 1-2 to Bayer Leverkusen last week. They are five points above the relegation playoff zone, so they are close to safety but not yet safe.
Three or four more points should be enough, and if they do not do it here, they are likely to get three against relegated Heidenheim next week.
A thing to have in mind is that Koln are on the worst winless away run in Germany, without a single victory from their last 11 away matches.
The Betting Verdict
Neither side is safe, and whoever wins will likely lock their Bundesliga spot for next season.
Union Berlin left a bit better impression lately, despite losing three in a row. Koln are winless in 11 on the road and never look confident.
Union Berlin to win at valuable odds is my call here.
