Schalke was not ready for a return to the Bundesliga, the team lost 12 times in the first round and is in last place in the standings, already 7 points behind 15th place.
But Koln, which used to be a Bundesliga underdog itself, has changed dramatically for the better in the last couple of years. The team began to get into the European Cup zone, and now looks great. After the international break Koln defeated Werder 7-1, and then played away in a draw with Bayern.
In the last face-to-face meeting Koln quietly beat Schalke 3-1, we believe that in the away match Koln will also be able to win.
Prediction: Koln to win. We recommend the “2 Win” bet, odds 2.01
