THE PREDICTION
Koln’s first match under new coach Friedhelm Funkel did not go to plan as they were beaten 3-0 at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, extending their winless run to nine games. They have failed to score in four of those nine games, and only two sides in the Bundesliga have found the net less often than the Billy Goats this season. And they are unlikely to get much joy against RB Leipzig, who boast the league’s meanest defence and have conceded just one goal in their last five away league outings. The Red Bulls were held to a goalless draw against Hoffenheim on Friday, while the previous meeting between these two sides also finished 0-0, so betting against both teams to score seems wise here.
