FC Koln hosts Paderborn in round 8 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, October 20th at RheinEnergieStadion (Cologne)
Koln continues to scare its fans. The team gained only four points in seven rounds, and only one victory is in the asset – as a result, the penultimate place in the standings and dim prospects for the future. In the last round, the Goats played in a draw with Schalke away. Who knows, maybe it will become the determining factor in the future ascent of the team. Bookmakers think that Koln has more chances, having set the odds of about 1.65 - 1.7 for the victory of the hosts and more than 4 for the visitors. I do not agree with them and I will explain my opinion a little lower.

Paderborn has risen to the highest division for the second time in its history. The team relegated right away in the debut visit, and it was 5 years ago. Now the story is repeating. Six defeats in seven rounds, and only one draw. 19 goals have already been conceded, although Paderborn scored nine times. For comparison, Koln has a goal difference of 5-16.
Paderborn plays against Koln very well. It never lost in the last seven head-to-head matches. Moreover, it won four of them, two of which were in Cologne. Opponents have played 14 times over the past 13 years, and Paderborn has lost only three times. And just 1 time with a difference of more than 1 goal, 6 years ago. There were two meetings within the framework of Bundesliga, and both of them ended in a draw. And why should the visitors lose the upcoming game? FC Koln floats downstream. By the way, Paderborn gained its only point on the road in Wolfsburg. And Koln also took all its 4 points away, that is, it lost all three home matches and scored only one goal in them. Two frankly weak teams may well tie. All the same, it will be reasonable to insure the visitors with a +1.5 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Paderborn to win with +1.5 handicap
