FC Koln hosts Bayer Leverkusen in round 12 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Wednesday, December 16th at RheinEnergieStadion (Cologne)
Cologne has managed to improve its tournament standings. The Goats slowly gained momentum in the current Bundesliga draw. They lost three times in a row, and only in mid-October, they managed to gain a home draw with Eintracht (1-1). Further, they alternated between draws and defeats, remaining in the danger zone. And the away victory of the Goats over Dortmund became a real sensation. On November 28, they coped with the grandee thanks to the double scored by Skhiri (1:2). In December, it turned out to build on success. At first, the Goats took a point in a home shootout with Wolfsburg, which ended with a 2-2 score. And despite the fact that Duda picked up two yellow cards with an interval of just a minute, FC Koln managed to defeat Mainz on the road on Saturday. Having gained 10 points, the team climbed to 15th place and broke away from the relegation zone.

Bayer intends to celebrate Christmas in the conquered position. The Red-Blacks were one of the losers in the previous championship. This is not to say that they showed a bad game, but the point is in the outcome. The team dropped to 5th place in the penultimate round of the Bundesliga and lost in the cup final. It was a serious blow, but Peter Bosz remained in his office, and now the Dutchman is justifying confidence. His players confidently passed the group round of the Europa League. At the same time, they also managed to perform well in the national championship. The Champions League participants simply do not have enough strength, and almost everyone stumbles. And the club from Leverkusen, which played with less workload in the Europa League, used this and became the leader of the national championship. But wasn't the last meeting with the strong Hoffenheim too energy-consuming?
The Goats have not lost in the last six head-to-head meetings. They even won the last four games. Bayer beat them on the road back in April 2016. Although FC Koln is in good shape and has not lost to Bayer for a long time, the visitors' motivation will be much higher. We think the leaders will manage to continue their winning streak.
Prediction for the match: Bayer Leverkusen to win
