Hoffenheim have practically guaranteed their participation in the UEFA Champions League next season. Last gameweek "Die Kraichgauer" broke Borussia Monchengladbach at their own field with 5:3 scoreline. At the moment the side occupies the third place in the standings with 54 points gained and 56-31 goal difference being 11 points ahead of Hertha BSC staying at the fifth position. On the road Hoffenheim conducted 14 encounters resulting in 19 points taken, 22 goals for and 17 goals against.
The teams' head-to-heads took their start in the XXI century, consequently, none of the rivals has historical advantage in their pair. "Die Geißbocke" rarely lost in front of their fans this season, meanwhile Hoffenheim's most away clashes ended in draws alongside with only four victories. Thus, I believe that the hosting team will manage to pick up some points in the forthcoming game.
Prediction for the match: FC Koln to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
