FC Koln - Union Berlin predictions and free betting tips [11/05/2024]

Tomorrow, in the 33rd round of the Bundesliga, Union Berlin and Köln will square off. The match will take place at the Rhein Energie Stadium. Let's take a look at the current form of both squads and try to make an informed decision on how to place our bets to profit maximally. 

Köln

Last season, Köln finished in 11th place, but currently, the boys are not showing much confidence, as the team is in 17th place in the league table and facing relegation. After a victory over Bochum (2:1), they lost to Bayern (0:2). Afterward, Köln suffered a defeat against Darmstadt (0:2). In the subsequent match, they drew with Mainz (1:1). In their most recent match, they drew with Freiburg (0:0).

Union Berlin

Last season, the club displayed an excellent game and secured 4th place. However, the team is struggling right now, practically fighting for survival, being in 15th place in the league table. After a minimal defeat from Bayer, who have already secured their championship, the lads lost to Augsburg (0:2).

In the next round, the team suffered a heavy defeat from Bayern (1:5). After this, they drew with Borussia Mönchengladbach (0:0). In their last match, the boys lost to Bochum in a high-scoring affair (3:4).

Head-To-Head

The last time Köln and Union Berlin faced each other was on December 20, 2023. In that encounter, Union Berlin claimed the victory with a final score of 2:0.

Prediction

Both squads are in a terrible form, but Union Berlin is my pick as the favourites. Köln has been underperforming at home, while Berlin has been losing on the road recently, only to strong teams. Given this, I would possibly go for a zero handicap for the visitors.

Total Score Prediction

I expect that the teams will not be able to produce a high-scoring match, so I would place my bet on a total of less than 3 goals.
