Bochum to avoid defeat away from home
Bochum are unbeaten in their past four meetings between the two sides.
This is a crunch Bundesliga game between Bochum and Cologne at the bottom of the log. Cologne are winless in their past eight games, while Bochum have also not won in their past five games.
It is a clash between two sides trying to retain their Bundesliga status as we approach the final weeks of the current campaign. Cologne have not won a game at home since February. Hence, they have a big task on their hands against a side they have not beaten in the past four meetings.
Based on their form and head-to-head stats, the visitors have the edge. That is why itโs not surprising we have decided to back them to avoid a defeat in Cologne in this Cologne vs Bochum predictions piece.
Bet 1: Bochum to win or draw & over 2.5 @ 2.12 with Bet9ja
A daring tip to back Bochum to win
Bochum are ranked 15th on the log with 26 points, while Cologne are down in the bottom two with just 19 points. The two teams are separated by seven points, with seven games to go till the end of the season.
The Unabsteigbaren have a slight edge as they travel to Cologne for this relegation six-pointer. The visitors have not been defeated in their past four meetings, though three of those games have ended in stalemates.
Cologne are down in the bottom two and needs a miracle to beat the drop at this stage of the season. However,ย although their form, stats and history do not favour them, they cannot be written off completely.
Therefore, in this bold prediction, we are settling on backing the visitors to win in this Cologne vs Bochum predictions piece.
Bet 2: Bochum win & GG @ 5.50 with Bet9ja
A combined market outcome in Cologne
Three of the past four games between the two sides have ended in either GG or a draw.
This is a crunch fixture between two of the bottom four on the Bundesliga log. While both teams may be fighting to stay up, Bochum seems to have a slightly clearer path to secure another season compared to Cologneโs escape from the danger zone.
Three of their past four Bundesliga meetings have produced the following results: 1-1, 0-2, 1-1 and 2-2. Therefore, there is a stat to back the selection of this particular tip and it looks highly possible the outcome on Saturday will produce either of the two.
Going by the above, it looks like a tip that would land easily in this Cologne vs Bochum predictions piece.
Bet 3: Draw or GG @ 1.46 with Bet9ja
Both teams to find the back of the net
Both teams have scored in eight of nine previous meetings between the two sides.
Goals involving teams at the lower end of the standings, such as the one between Cologne and Bochum, often feature a high number of goals. In this particular fixture, Cologne have not kept a clean sheet in their past nine fixtures and their current form does not offer any hope of that coming to an end.
Generally, the two teams have porous defences as Bochum have not kept a clean sheet in their past nine games in all competitions. Meanwhile, Cologne have also not kept one in their past eight games.
If we consider the stats and history of this fixture, this should be a goal-fest. With that being said, the addition of another goal market improves the odds and the selection is now more solid.
It is an option that should land easily in this Cologne vs Bochum predictions piece.
