RB Leipzig take on the visitors FC Koln at “Red Bull Arena” in the round 24 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played in Leipzig on Sunday, February 25th.
RB Leipzig have become a true sensation of German football in recent years, showing remarkable progress. Last season the club has managed to occupy the second place in the Bundesliga standings while in this season it is doing not so great, sitting now on the fifth position in the table with 38 points earned after 23 clashes behind. “Die Bullen” come up to the Sunday tackle in a high spirit as they promoted to the 1/8 final stage of the UEFA Europa League, having knocked out Napoli by the aggregated outcome of two encounters played. In this season the side shows consistent and solid performance in face of its fans, having failed only once in 11 games conducted at their own turf while other fights ended with seven triumphs and three draws.

FC Koln have overestimated their capabilities, trying to succeed like in the Bundesliga, like in the Eurocup and failed both of them. At the moment “Die Geißbocke” occupy the 18th place in the standings with 14 points taken after 23 rounds behind, being nine points away from the safe 15th position. However, the team has started to improve the game in the second lap, especially it is applicable to its offense. In 17 clashes which were conducted in 2017 FC Koln scored only 10 goals and the same number of goals was recorded in six encounters played in 2018. As for the side’s statistics on the road, “Die Geißbocke” have won only once in 11 away tackles, having scored eight goals for and 21 goals against.
Last season’s head-to-heads between the rivals were finished with 3:1 triumph of RB Leipzig and 1:1 draw. In this season “Die Bullen” broke “Die Geißbocke” with 2:1 scoreline on the road. Taking into account the first-lap result, together with the club’s statistics and effectiveness in this season, I presume that the visitors will be able to score a goal, however, it will not be enough for them to succeed in the upcoming fight.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X). Both teams to score.
