FC Koln vs Borussia M'gladbach Prediction: more misery for FC Koln

FC Koln are back in action in the Bundesliga after the one week international break. Koln needed the break to set things right after a horrible period of 5 matches without a win. During the break, they played Sint-Truidense VV and lost 1-0. Now the question looms; what next for FC Koln? Will they be able to turn things around in this final part of the season? 

FC Koln will be taking on Borussia M'gladbach in the RheinEnergieStadion for the 26th round of the Bundesliga. Borussia M'gladbach were not in better shape prior to the break too and they will hope the week off will help them get back on track.

FC Koln are in a very difficult position at the moment and it looks like their fate is sealed already. It looked like the international break was the best opportunity to get them up again, but they still lost the only friendly they played against and now they have to turn their attention back to the Bundesliga. Koln are without a win in their last 6 matches in all competitions. Their last 5 matches ended in 4 losses and 1 draw.

Last time out, they lost 1-0 to Saint Truidense in a friendly match. Prior to that, they were beaten 6-1 by Borussia Dortmund. 

FC Koln are in 13th spot on the table, with 27 points from 25 matches. They won 7, drew 9 and lost 10 matches this season.

Team Stats:- losses (3), no wins (6), without clean sheet (3), less than 2.5 goals (⅘), first to concede (⅚), first half loser (⅚), less than 4.5 cards (5/5).

Borussia M'gladbach have also been struggling for some time before the international break. In their last 5 matches, they recorded 2 losses, 2 draws and 1 win. In their last game, they played 2-2 against Werder Bremen at home. The second half had major talking points, as both teams scored 2 goals to end the match in a draw. Marcus Thuram and Florian Neuhaus were the goalscorers for Borussia Dortmund, while Marvin Ducksch scored a double to earn Werder Bremen a point. At the end of 90 minutes, Borussia M'gladbach were the better side on paper. They had 59% possession, 9 shots on target and 6 corner kicks.

Borussia M'gladbach are currently ranked 10th, with 31 points from 25 matches. They won 8, drew 7 and lost 10. 

Team Stats:- no wins (4), more than 2.5 goals (⅚).

FC Koln and Borussia M'gladbach have played 20 matches against each other before this meeting. Borussia M'gladbach have 12 wins, while FC Koln have 6 wins and 2 matches ended in a draw.

• FC Koln are without a clean sheet in the last 12 meetings.

• More than 2.5 goals were scored in (6/6) meetings.
• Both teams scored in (6/6) meetings.
• More than 4.5 cards was shown in (⅘) meetings.

FC Koln have not been able to fix their poor form and I see them struggling till the end of the season. Borussia M'gladbach on the other hand are not way better, but they are a better pick to snatch all 3 points. Also, these two have scored against each other in the last 6 meetings and I think it's worth betting on in this clash.
