FC Koln hosts Greuther Furth in round 9 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, September 1st at RheinEnergieStadion (Cologne)
FC Koln retained their place in the elite division in the last draw with certain difficulties. The Goats managed to take only 16th place. Fortunately, according to the regulations, it sent them not to the lower division but into the playoffs. And FC Koln lost the first game at home to Holstein Kiel (0-1), but the away match ended with a confident 5-1 victory. The Goats started the new season under the management of a new coach, Baumgart. Steffen is living up to expectations so far, although he almost spoiled his debut (in the cup, Karl Zeiss was beaten only in a penalty shootout). But in the championship, his charges lost only once, and eminent Bayern Munich won with a score of 3-2. But there are too many draws. The Goats tied half of their matches, including the last away game against Eintracht Frankfurt. However, it doesn’t prevent them from staying in a higher part of the standings.

Greuther Furth was initially considered the main outsider of the division. So, the current results of the Cloverleaves are not surprising at all. As "planned", the newcomer has already secured the last place in the standings. It concedes a lot and scores a little (now the total goal difference is 4-16). However, the bosses don't expect anything else, and it's not for nothing that Stefan Leitl is not being removed from his post. It remains only to rejoice at the rare occasions. For example, the Cloverleaves may be happy with the only draw (1-1 with Arminia on its field). Or with the fact that they managed to score against the formidable Bayern Munich: at home, Itten scored a classic consolation goal, upsetting Neuer in the 87th minute.
FC Koln has not lost in six head-to-head matches in a row. And in both last games in the 2nd Bundesliga 2018/2019, the Goats twice hammered Greuter Furth with the same score of 4-0. Now FC Koln looks much more confident and should beat the newcomer. We recommend using the option with a -1 handicap.
Prediction for the match: FC Koln to win with -1.0 handicap
