Augsburg take on the visitors Koln in the round 24 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, February 27th at WWK Arena (Augsburg).
Augsburg managed to break into European competitions after establishing themselves in the Bundesliga — it was, правда, a one-off but fairly successful experience. After that, they did not repeat it, yet on the other hand they also did not sink particularly low, avoiding real relegation danger to the second division. They confirmed their level again in 2024/2025, finishing 12th in the final table with 43 points. Something similar may well happen this time too. Recent results show that Augsburg are once again building stability, especially in matches where they are expected to take points. Their current form suggests they are comfortable operating in the middle of the table without sharp drops in performance. Yes, there is such a reason for pride as a victory over Bayern — the first win over the champions this season. But most importantly, they are managing to collect points in other rounds as well, and quite regularly, especially of late. And against both recent opponents, Heidenheim and Wolfsburg, they even managed to secure wins, further strengthening their position in the current league table.

Cologne are setting themselves clear objectives. The Billy Goats, of course, are masters at putting their fans (who, by the way, are extremely numerous even by high local standards) on an emotional roller coaster. At times they defended their Bundesliga status through a successful play-off, then played in the Conference League — and in 2024 they still collapsed into the second division. However, they became champions there and returned triumphantly. Now they are doing everything to at least secure their place comfortably this time. The team’s recent form reflects a pragmatic approach focused on survival rather than spectacle. Even when results fluctuate, Cologne have shown resilience and an ability to respond after setbacks. Overall, things are going reasonably well — yes, nearly half of the matches are being lost, but the number of wins so far is enough to average more than a point per game and keep some distance from the relegation zone. And after a couple of defeats, including one to Stuttgart, they followed up with a 2–2 draw against a currently solid Hoffenheim.
The Billy Goats have managed not to lose in the last six head-to-head encounters. At the same time, three of them — including one this season — have ended in draws. The more experienced team, which is in decent form, is playing at home — we back them to eventually secure another consecutive victory.
Prediction for the match: Augsburg to win.
