FC Koln vs Freiburg Prediction & Tips
After advancing to the next round of the DFB-Pokal and kicking off the Bundesliga with a win, Lukas Kwasniok’s perfect start as Cologne manager extends his winning streak to four games in all competitions. Another win here would secure the first start to a season with two victories in the top flight of German football in 20 years. Kwasniok’s next goal is to extend the unbeaten home run that dates back to last season to four home games.
Freiburg lost 3-1 to Augsburg last week, despite having recorded the highest xG (expected goals) of the 18 Bundesliga teams (3.04) on the opening day. This was the team’s first defeat on the opening day of the top-flight season since 2018/19. Therefore, manager Julian Schuster may be happy to play away from home, as although they have won only one of their last seven league games at home, they are unbeaten in seven consecutive Bundesliga away games (W5, D2), a club record, and are just one win away from winning four consecutive Bundesliga away games for the first time in their history.
