Borussia Dortmund take on the visitors FC Koln at “Signal Iduna Park” in the final clash of the round four of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played in Dortmund on Sunday, September 17th.
After the break for the national A-teams’ battles, Peter Bosz’s side suffers a little. During last week Borussia Dortmund gained 0:0 draw against SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga and 1:3 defeat to Tottenham in the UEFA Champions League. Having lost to the Brits, “Die Schwarzgelben” broke their 12-encounter unbeaten run which has been lasting since the 22nd of April. Borussia Dortmund have taken seven points with 5:0 aggregated score allowing them to share the leading positions in the German elite division with two other club. Concerning the team’s performance in face of its supporters, “Die Schwarzgelben” have not been broken across five matches covering four victories and a draw.

FC Koln stay in disastrous situation at the start of the season. “Die Geißbocke” were beaten in four consecutive clashes with 2:10 aggregated score. During last week Peter Stoger’s side recorded two defeats, having conceded three goals in each of them: 0:3 vs. FC Augsburg and 1:3 vs. Arsenal. At the moment FC Koln are the worst team of this season’s Bundesliga as they are the only club which has not taken points yet alongside with 1-7 goal difference.
It might sound strange, but Borussia Dortmund have not succeeded to beat FC Koln since the 25th of March 2012 across six head-to-heads in a row resulting in two triumphs of “Die Geißbocke” and four draws. Taking into account the visitors’ competitive form, their poor defense and weak offense, the forthcoming home battle will be a great chance for “Die Schwarzgelben” to break the unlucky streak, however, I do not believe that the hosting side will manage to smash the opponent.
Prediction for the match: FC Koln to win with +2.5 Asian handicap.
