Hoffenheim vs Koln Prediction 

Avoiding a fourth successive home defeat in Bundesliga action will be the priority for Hoffenheim ahead of this game and they are also winless since the beginning of February when beating Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 on home soil. Their future prospects appeared no better when they were beaten 3-0 by Hertha Berlin as action resumed following the lockdown but a useful point was claimed at the weekend when drawing 1-1 at bottom team Paderborn. Yet Hoffenheim were unable to translate their superior possession and shots on target into a comfortable victory.

Meanwhile, visitors Koln claimed an unlikely point when scoring two late goals to draw 2-2 with Fortuna Dusseldorf on Sunday. The Cologne team had earlier squandered a two-goal lead when featuring in another draw by the same scoreline in their previous match against Mainz. However, it is worth noting that Koln have suffered away defeats at just the two Borussia teams since mid-December and are a much-improved outfit since the appointment of Markus Gisdol as Head Coach back in November 2019.

Hoffenheim are likely to start favourites for this game but we won’t be adding them to our bet365 bet builder tip. They have lost six of nine previous Bundesliga contests on home territory and appeared to have lost the winning formula. In contrast, Koln have been beaten just three times this year and have netted in every competitive fixture from mid-December onwards. With the visiting defence also proving to be vulnerable at times, the first of our Hoffenheim vs Koln bets is for an away win with both teams to score.

Koln to Win and Both Teams to Score – 10/3 with Bet365.

 

Hoffenheim vs Koln Correct Score Prediction

• 1-1 draw – 13/2
• Koln win 1-0 – 12/1
• Koln win 2-0 – 16/1
• Koln win 2-1 – 10/1
• Koln win 3-1 –  18/1
• Hoffenheim win 2-1 – 9/1

Although Koln rarely threatened the Fortuna Dusseldorf defence during a poor first-half display at the weekend, they improved after the interval and used their substitutes to full effect in reversing a two-goal deficit. The attacking strength of Koln has been proved on several occasions this term and they have failed to net just twice since the beginning of October. Defensive lapses do remain a concern.

Hosts Hoffenheim will be aware of the suspect opposition defence but their recent goalscoring problems may prevent them from capitalising. Only two goals have been netted by the mid-table team in their last six matches while leaking too many goals. From early February onwards, at least three goals have been conceded in four of nine competitive matches with only one clean sheet registered. The visitors may simply score more goals, and so the next of our Hoffenheim vs Koln fixtures is for a 2-1 away win at odds of 10/1 with Bet365.

Koln to win 2-1 – 10/1 with Bet365.

 

Hoffenheim vs Koln Anytime Goalscorer Tip

• Jhon Cordoba – 11/10
• Munas Dabbur – 11/10
• Simon Terrode – 5/4
• Anthony Modeste – 8/5
• Jan Thielmann – 8/5
• Mark Uth – 8/5

When transferred from Hoffenheim to Koln back in June 2015, Anthony Modeste became an instant hit at his new club. The French attacker scored 15 league goals in his first season and 25 during the following campaign. Thereafter, he was loaned to Chinese football and has not been so prolific on his return to the Bundesliga. However, Modeste appeared sharp when appearing for the last thirty minutes on Sunday and reduced the deficit in the closing stages. The 32-year-old striker still knows where the goal is and Koln were a better team for his late introduction.

Therefore, our third and final bet is for Anthony Modeste to score anytime in the clash.

Anthony Modeste to score any time – 8/5 with Bet365.
