Cologne - Werder
Cologne - WerderCologne hosts Werder Bremen in a match of the 32nd Round of the First Bundesliga. The meeting will be played on Friday, May 5, at 21:30. By the end of the championship there are only two more rounds after this, but both teams have nothing to worry about.
Cologne and Werder make a strong season as three rounds before the end of the championship and both teams have a chance to qualify for Europa League. For a long time, we have not seen Werder in Europe, and at the moment they are in a more advantageous situation. The hosts are eighth with an asset of 42 points, while "Bremen musicians" have three points in sixth place.
Cologne is in a very bad series of four games without a win and in the last two games scored only one goal. In the last round, however, the zero score of Signal Iduna Park against Borussia may be a good result and gives reason for optimism at the end of the season. "Goats" have no home win in two consecutive games and will strive to end the bad series.
The guests from Bremen are a pleasant surprise in the second half. They won six of their last seven games, realizing at least two goals in each of them. The year began a nightmare for Werder with four consecutive losses, but then led by the targets of Serge Gnabri and Max Cruze, they managed to break their way to the sixth position.
The guests won four of their last six games out and the team looks much better, so I expect a success for them that will consolidate their position in the Top 6.
