Hoffenheim vs FC Cologne prediction
FC Cologne started like a house on fire this season, but have come down to earth of late, picking up just a point from their last three league games. You’re usually guaranteed entertainment when they take to the field with the visitors having scored ten goals, but conceded nine including eight across those most recent three matches.
Hoffenheim are sat mid-table having been extremely inconsistent so far over the course of the season and it’s hard to predict what side of Christian Ilzer’s men we’ll see in this game. What is expected though, are goals and likely a significant number of them. With that in mind, back over 3.5 goals to be scored over the course of 90 minutes.
Hoffenheim vs FC Cologne tip: Over 3.5 goals
