FC Koln vs VFL Wolfsburg Prediction: Koln won’t lose

FC Koln will be excited to finally play another match on home ground after their 3-0 loss against Stuttgart last weekend. FC Koln won by the same scoreline in their last home match, and they will be aiming for a repeat as they welcome VFL Wolfsburg to the RheinEnergieStadion.

Wolfsburg look off this season and I don't believe they have sorted themselves out just yet. So there are no serious expectations on this Wolfsburg team this season. They come against FC Koln, who will be playing at home. It will be no surprise if Wolfsburg struggle to play here and I think their best chance will be to earn a draw from this game. But we won’t be writing off any possibility in games such as these.
