Cologne-Freiburg is a match in the 32nd day of the Bundesliga and is played Saturday at 6:30pm: TV, lineups and predictions
Cologne, second-last in the standings and seven points away from staying in, has almost lost its salvation hopes. Instead, they are five points behind Mainz, which would go to the play-off at this time. And so yes, there is very little hope, even if a win against Freiburg should come.
That is actually also very hypothetical for a reason: the host formation, has 40 points in the standings, would now be inside next season’s Conference League, and must fend off the onslaught of Augsburg, which will be busy in Dortmund and has a good chance of snatching a positive result. The motivation of Streich’s bianconeri, therefore, high in a match that could decisively, and highly positively, direct the whole season.
The performance of the two formations, however, is not that it is of the best: Cologne in the last five has won only once (two defeats); the same as Freiburg who, however, at least two victories have placed them thus keeping alive the Europa dream. Evident, then, but not so much because of this but mainly because of what we told you earlier, that the guests are the favorites in this match. Who are therefore dreaming of the decisive blow.
The prediction
An away win, which would almost certainly allow Streicht’s Freiburg to fly to Europe next year. Against a team that we can safely call relegated by now, the opportunity is too good to miss. Match from at least three goals overall that of Cologne, and also one goal per team. With the final 2 sign looking highly likely.
