Bayer vs Cologne Prediction: Expect a win for the home team

There are two matches in the Bundesliga this coming Friday, one of which will be the encounter between Bayer and Cologne. Bayer are quoted as the clear favourites.

Bayer has their first Europa League semi-final ahead of them, which is the reason for the postponement of the match to Friday, although the teams were originally due to play on Saturday. The fact is that Bayer continues to fight on two fronts, apart from the European Cup, and we will remind you that Bayer is the only remaining German representative in the European competitions. The team continues to fight for a place in the Europa League competitions. Before the 31st round of the German championship, Bayer is in sixth position with 48 points, six points less than Leipzig. In their last ten games, they have won 7 games and drawn 3, while Bayer has the seventh-best home statistics in the division, with a goal difference of +8 = 2-5, 32:19.

After a four-match unbeaten streak, Cologne lost 0:1 to Freiburg last week at home— an unpleasant defeat but not decisive by and large. The exit does not threaten Cologne. The gap between Bochum is 7 points in the four remaining rounds, as well as the European Cup because the gap between Bayer is 13 points. Cologne's away statistics are 11th in the division, +3=6-6, 18:32 goal difference.

The match was postponed to Friday due to the request of Bayer, who play the first leg of the Europa League semi-final next Thursday. They are fully motivated, and Bayer now focuses on the European Cup. But that does not mean that Bayer will abandon the Bundesliga matches for the sake of the European Cup because there is no guarantee that Leverkusen will win the tournament, while in the Bundesliga, the future hosts are battling for a place in the Europa League competitions. Cologne has practically solved all their problems in the championship. At the same time, the visitors have no guaranteed spot in the elite next season. Another thing is that Cologne certainly does not want to lose the derby, but in terms of motivation in this pairing, the obvious superiority of the home side on whom we place our bets.
