Koln vs Augsburg Prediction and Betting Tips | October 15, 2022
Koln will host Augsburg at the RheinEnergieStadion on Sunday (October 16) afternoon in the Bundesliga.
The Billy Goats have had mixed results this season and have struggled for form of late. They were beaten 5-2 by Borussia Monchengladbach in their last league outing. The first-half dismissal of Florian Kainz took the game away from Steffen Baumgart's as they lost 2-0 to Partizan in the UEFA Europa League in midweek.
Koln are ninth in the Bundesliga standings with 13 points from nine games. They will now look to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
Augsburg, meanwhile, kicked off their campaign sluggishly but have picked up pace in recent weeks to steadily climb up the standings. They played out a 1-1 draw against struggling Wolfsburg in their last league game. Robert Gumny scored the leveller early after the restart, with his first goal of the campaign.
The visitors are tenth in the standings, level on points with their weekend opponents, and will look to leapfrog them with a win.
