THE PREDICTION
Since the appointment of Xabi Alonso mid-way through last season, Bayer Leverkusen have been magnificent. They continued their fine start to the 2023/24 campaign with an impressive 2-1 defeat in Norway with a much-changed side against Molde in the UEFA Europa League. They have won eight and drawn one in nine matches across all competitions so far this season, scoring 34 goals. They now face a Cologne side that have badly struggled at the start of this Bundesliga campaign with just one point collected in their opening six matches. Another comfortable Leverkusen victory is to be expected.
TIP: BAYER LEVERKUSEN TO WIN & OVER 2.5 GOALS
