Tip and bets
Koln suffered a defeat in the most recent round, so now it will be harder to break into the European competitions zone. But there is still time to change the situation. Koln should be able to beat Bochum, they are just a more classy team, so we offer to place a bet on the visitors.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Koln
Bochum are not easy to beat at their home - in eight most recent matches at Vonovia Ruhrstadion only Union managed to keep a clean sheet. Koln's defensive line is not perfect, so we think that they will concede at least one goal, but the Billy Goats are great at converting chances, so they will probably cause some problems to the opponent.
Our second bet is on total over 2.5 goals
