About The Match
1. FC Cologne's home form is the one solid anchor in this fixture, while M´gladbach arrive with a season record that is almost entirely negative. The market prices the home side at 48% to win and 55% to score first, which is a clear but not overwhelming lean given the visitors' away numbers. The key uncertainty is whether M´gladbach's attack, which has scored zero goals in two away league matches, can finally produce against a Cologne defense that has been level with the league average at home. 1. FC Cologne have a large attacking and defensive edge according to the baseline comparisons, but the sample is only two home matches and four league games overall.
