FC Koln vs Paderborn Prediction & Betting Tips (25 October)

Cologne traveled to Darmstadt last weekend on a three-day unbeaten streak, including a great, peppy victory against Ulm 2-0. They finally lost with an ultra-salty score 5-1. . Already the 3rd defeat for the Boucs this season in D2, only 3 victories. 10th in the D2 standings, Cologne has the distinction of having scored at least once in each match played at home this season in the championship.

On the other side of the median, we find another former Bundesliga resident, Paderborn who are keen to return to the elite of German football in the very near future. For the moment, the evening visitors are fifth with 16 points after 9 matches and they conceded their first defeat of the season during the previous day on the Kaiserslautern lawn without possible discussion 3-0. A real setback for Paderborn who remained on four wins and four draws. 

Injured and absent since the start of the season, Jacob Christensen will probably be OUT for this game like the long-term injured Luca Kilian, the important midfielder Ljubicic (2 goals, 2 assists in 5 appearances in the league this season) who did not take part in the last day (announced ill) without forgetting to mention the replacement goalkeeper Pentke. Literally in orbit since the launch of the campaign with his 4 goals and 4 assists, the German international hopeful Lemperle should be there like his international compatriot with the U20s Damion Downs (also 4 pawns in the championship). in the three central defense, Laurin Curda will serve his suspension (exclusion during the previous day). He thus joins an already substantial list of absences with the injuries of Mattes Hansen (very little important in the hierarchy), the Macedonian international Musliu (4 appearances in the league this season), the replacement goalkeeper Schulz or even the international German U20 Aaron Zehnter (19 years old, 1 goal, 4 goals in the league this season).

Sick last weekend, Felix Platte (rotation) could be back but nothing is certain yet. On the other hand, there is the crucial and prolific Filip Bilbija (5 goals, 2 assists).
