FC Koln – BATE PREDICTION & TIPS
This Thursday the German team of FC Koln looks for a victory that will allow them to stay alive in the UEFA Europa League, when in the RheinEnergieStadion they will receive a visit from BATE Barisov at stake for Group H.
FC Cologne.
Those led by Peter Stoger has not been doing well at all in the Bundesliga, where in ten dates he does not know of wins and only has two draws to be the last in the standings; the same thing is repeated in the Europa League where he has lost all three games against Arsenal 3-1, 0-1 against Red Star and then 1-0 against BATE, so this Thursday he has to win or win if he wants to stay alive in the competition.
BATE Barisov.
Meanwhile, those led by Aleksandr Yermakovich are in a good moment, come to draw a goal against Naftan and with it added a streak of five games without losing where the victory is included 1-0 against Koln victory that puts him in the Second place of the group with 4 points and a victory here is important for them.
Facing.
The first leg game was the first game between these two teams.
FC Koln has not played against another team of Belarus unlike BATE who has already played two times in Germany and with negative results, so he lost to Bayern Munich 1-4 in 2012 and 0-1 against TSV 1860 Munich 0- 1 in 2002.
Prediction.
The moment of FC Koln is quite poor, he has only won one game all season and was against Hertha 1-3 in the DFB Pokal, to this bad performance are added the important casualties of Captain Jonas Hector, Marcel Risse, Jhon Cordoba and Dominic Maroh and thus it is difficult to get ahead this game more before a BATE that arrives with a lot of confidence thanks to an unbeaten five games with 4 wins and a draw and it is a good opportunity to continue on that path of good results and thus continue to fight equal to equal for that second place against Red Star of Belgrade.
Therefore, we believe that the Asian handicap +1 in favor of BATE is a very good alternative because in addition to having a good quota it protects us with the return of the bet in case it loses by a difference of one goal, and we do not see much difference between these teams and more with the moment of anguish and despair that is going through Koln.
