RB Leipzig – Koln Prediction, Picks and Tips
RB Leipzig have been in one of the weakest seasons since promotion to the Bundesliga. However, the "bulls" have a good series under the command of Domenico Tedesco, where they ticked two victories in a row on their own field. I can get the third one after the duel RB Leipzig - Cologne. Leipzig played a very spectacular match against Bayern Munich last season. The "bulls" lost 3-2 in the end, but they practically had a brave game on Allianz Arena, where they created many chances to score. Thomas Muller opened the scoring in the 12th minute, but Andre Silva equalized in the 27th minute, when he took advantage of countless errors from the Bavarians' defense. At the break, Bayern took the lead thanks to the success of Robert Lewandowski in the 44th minute. The beginning of the second half belonged to Leipzig. The visitors' Christopher Nkunku took advantage of a misunderstanding between the home side's goalie and center backs 53 minutes into the match. After another five minutes, however, the Gvardiol defender deflected a shot from Serge Gnabry and thus the final score was set: Bayern Munich - Leipzig 3-2. The "bulls" are on the seventh place in the ranking, with 31 points. Previously, RB Leipzig had won the duel with Wolfsburg at home, score 2-0. Defenders Orban and Gvardiol were the two scorers of the game. In the Bundesliga, the "bulls" also beat Stuttgart away, score 2-0, but also Mainz, score 4-1. The team coached by Tedesco also advanced to the semifinals of the German Cup. In the round of 16, Leipzig beat Hansa Rostock 2-0, with Poulsen and Olmo being the two scorers of the "bulls". In the next phase of the competition, Leipzig will play Hannover away.
Cologne is one of the pleasant surprises of the Bundesliga season. Steffen Baumgart's "goats" have only one failure in 2022 and are doing well in away matches. The team from North Westphalia can tick new important points following the RB Leipzig-Cologne duel. The last game Cologne played was against Freiburg, at home. It was a duel in which Baumgart was absent from the bench due to COVID-19 infection. However, the "goats" did well and won 1-0, the only scorer being Anthony Modeste in the 23rd minute. Earlier, Cologne drew spectacularly on Bochum's field, score 2-2. Holtmann opened the scoring for the hosts in the 25th minute, but Hubers and Modeste turned the result in favor of the "goats". In the second half, the Japanese Asano managed to equalize for Bochum, in the 70th minute. The "goats" also won 3-1 at the beginning of January at Herthei Berlin, and the only failure in 2022 in the Bundesliga was at home, 0-4 against Bayern Munich. Cologne was also eliminated from the German Cup. The Baumgart team lost on penalties to Hamburg, a team in the Zweite Bundesliga.
