FC Koln – Duisburg SOCCER PICKS
The 9th day of the 2. Bundesliga in Germany will close in the RheinEnergieStadion, when one of the candidates to stay with one of the quotas for the ascent as Cologne, receives the visit of the Duisburg team.
FC Koln:
The Billy Goats are determined to return to the top flight of German football, so those led by Markus Anfang have now added six wins and one defeat in their eight games of the season, which place them in first place in the standings with 19 points, two points ahead of their closest pursuers such as Union Berlin and Hamburg, although these two with one more game, so a win this Monday at home and strengthens them at the top of the standings.
Cologne has won 1-3 in its visit to Arminia Bielefeld in the Schuco Arena in a game where Simon Terodde was again the figure when he scored a double, and in this way he is the scorer of the 2.Bundesliga with 12 goals in eight games and against Duisburg will want to continue increasing their scoring number. Recall that with this victory Cologne adds a streak of three consecutive victories.
Duisburg:
Meanwhile, those led by Ilia Grouev are one of the worst teams in the 2. Bundesliga, so Duisburg comes from losing at home 1-3 to Jahn Regensburg and in this way still does not know what it is to win in the season, what is located in the last place with just two points in eight games.
But that’s not all, as his defense problems place him as the worst defense of the 2. Bundesliga and he even comes from receiving ten goals in his last four games, and now that he has the best performance team of the season, we believe that things can go wrong, although that’s what motivates them, is that despite their poor results in this start, playing away from home has been difficult to beat, not because of something coming from a draw in their last two starts and one of them was before Union Berlin that is fighting the first places, also visiting Cologne has not lost in his last three official visits with two of them ending in victories.
