Koln 13/10 to beat Augsburg in Saturday’s Bundesliga matchup

Competition: Bundesliga

Market: Koln win

Odds: 13/10 @ 888sport

Hoping to extend their buffer away from the drop zone when they return from the festive break on Saturday afternoon, Koln will host Augsburg this weekend.

Starting with the hosts, managing to extend their DFP Pokal adventure before entering Germany’s festive break, Koln will be confident of finding a route away from the relegation zone in 2021. In their 13 Bundesliga matchups so far this season, they have recorded just two wins, five draws and six defeats, scoring 13 and conceding 21 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 11, Koln open this weekend’s fixtures sat down in 15th and holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone play-off spot. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen collecting a 1-0 win against lower-league Osnabrück, Saturday’s hosts have lost just one of their last six matchups across all formats. With that run highlighted by a 2-1 win against Borussia Dortmund, it should also be noted that Koln have recorded a clean sheet in three of their last four contests.

As for the visitors, continuing on what was a sluggish run of form when entering the festive break, Augsburg are a side who are really seeking a New Year’s bounce. In their 13 Bundesliga matchups this season, they have recorded four wins, four draws and five defeats, scoring 15 and conceding 19 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 16, they mark their return to action this weekend sat 11th in the table and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half of the table. However, as for their recent run of results, crashing out of the DFP Pokal thanks to a 3-0 drumming RB Leipzig last time out, Augsburg have suffered back-to-back defeats and have also managed to win just one of their last eight matchups across all formats. Also winning just one of their last five Bundesliga contests on the road, we’re backing a home victory on Saturday afternoon.
