Koln scored many goals at the start of the season, but they are also conceding in every match. Opponents of the Billy Goats are not scoring many goals on away matches, but they will have a chance on counter-attacks. In our opinion, home team will lead the game for the most of the time and we will see many goal opportunities, some of which might be converted.
