FC Koln vs Union Berlin Prediction: Bet on a draw

Sunday's pool of the sixth round of the German Bundesliga will start with the match between Koln and Union. Both teams have participated in midweek European games, with only one draw between the sides. Let's see how the clubs cope with their week's second game.

For Koln, the upcoming game will be the 10th official game of the season. In this period, the Goats have won three times with one defeat against Fehérvár, with the rest of the matches drawn. Last round, Koln beat Wolfsburg 4-2, and five days later, they drew 1-1 at home to Nice. Koln sit seventh with 9 points in the Bundesliga table. They have a home win over Schalke and a draw against Stuttgart.

Union lost unexpectedly at home to Belgium's Union 0-1 in their opening Europa League group stage match. The game's only goal was scored by Lynen with an assist from Boniface in the 36th minute. Union did not play their best game; they failed to outscore their opponents statistically and did not manage to level the score. And this after Union drew with Bayern, and before that won three of their four games in the Bundesliga. In the Bundesliga table, Union are in the Champions League zone with 11 points, just one point behind the two leaders. In the away games, Union are on 4 points, +1=1-0, 6-1 goal difference.

FC Koln have been a comfortable opponent for Union in recent times; out of their last 4 games, the Goats have won three times with one draw. Bad matches can happen, and the encounter against Union in the Europa League is one of them. But, it should not be forgotten that the iron side had not lost to Bayern before that, and they have not lost in Bundesliga 2022/23 as a whole. We believe that Union have a good chance not to lose on Sunday, and in general, we believe that the upcoming meeting will end in a draw and offer these betting options for the game:

• X for 3.40;
• H2 (0.25) for 1.85;
• Correct score 1-1 for 6.00.
