Koln vs Werder Bremen: Preview and Predictions

Koln vs Werder Bremen
German Bundesliga
Date: 5th May 2017
Kick off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: RheinEnergieStadion.

Who could have possibly imagined that Werder Bremen will be ahead of Koln after the first part of the season?

Alexander Nouri has done a true little miracle which led the team to the positions which guarantee Europa League football in the next season.

Koln

The story is completely opposite with Koln. The Billy Goats have been genuine candidates for the top four finish and the dreams of the Champions League anthem seemed so realistic before the new year.

However, everything fell apart in the second part of the season in Bundesliga for Peter Stoger and his men.

The Austrian manager could see his team winning no more than two games since the early February.

On the bright side, Koln are undefeated in last two pretty tough league fixtures with Hoffenheim and Borussia Dortmund.

Werder Bremen

The River Islanders have as many as ten wins and two draws in last 12 league outings.

The team has been enjoying a phenomenal shape in the final third in 2017. Max Kruse and Fin Bartels were inspired in a comfortable 2-0 win over Hertha BSC last weekend at Weserstadion.

Koln vs Werder Bremen: Head to head

It is very interesting to note that none of the last seven head to head meetings between the two sides offered three or more goals.

Draw has been the most common of the outcomes in the most recent period, while the overall head to head tie is all square at 33 wins for each of the teams.

Koln vs Werder Bremen: Prediction

We definitely believe that the time has come for a goal fest in the clash between the two rivals.

Stoger has a predator in the final third in the like of Anthony Modeste (23 goals so far in the season), while Nouri’s attacking line produced at least two goals in each of the last seven matches.
