FC Koln take on the visitors FK Crvena Zvezda at "RheinEnergieStadion" in the round two of the UEFA Europa League Group stage. The match will be played in Cologne on Thursday, September 28th.
At the moment FC Koln are the worst team in the German elite division as with an exception of their triumph over the amateurs in the DFB Pokal, "Die Geißbocke" have not won in this season yet. The sides' no-win streak counts for seven encounters covering six losses and single 0:0 draw which was taken in the latest clash against Hannover. FC Koln have been failing to score in three recent encounters or for 351 minutes of football. The team occupies the last 18th position in the Bundesliga table with one point earned and 1-13 goal difference. This season "Die Geißbocke" conducted two matches in face of their fans resulting in two defeats to Hamburger SV 1:3 and to Eintracht Frankfurt 0:1.

Unlike to the upcoming rival, FK Crvena Zvezda have not been broken in seven recent games in a row, having gained five victories and two draws in them and having not conceded a goal in last three clashes or for 288 minutes of football. "Zvezda" is leading in the Serbian Super Liga standings with 28 points earned and 24-1 goal difference after 10 rounds. The Serbians entered the UEFA Europa League Group stage with 1:1 draw vs. BATE. This season FK Crvena Zvezda participated in nine matches on the road resulting in six triumphs, two draws and single loss.
It will be the first head-to-head for the German and Serbian sides. It is strange why the book-makers are so sure in "Die Geißbocke"'s win and I presume that the Serbians will be quite able to get some points or at least not to lose with a handsome margin.
Prediction for the match: FK Crvena Zvezda to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
