THE PREDICTION
Koln pulled off a shock 2-1 win at Borussia Dortmund in November but they are in worrying form going into this meeting, with just one point from their last five games leaving them just outside the drop zone. The Billy Goats have struggled at home throughout this season, winning a solitary league game at the RheinEnergieStadion. Dortmund’s form has steadied after a poor run in January as they look to climb back into the top four. The Black and Yellows have won three of their last four games, with the late 4-2 loss at Bayern being the exception, and it is hard to see them suffering a repeat of the reverse fixture, so an away win is worth sticking in a weekend accumulator.
