FC Koln vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting Tips (16 February)

The duel between Cologne and Bremen will take place on the 22nd matchday of the Bundesliga. The ball starts rolling in the RheinEnergieStadion from 9:30 p.m. The billy goats are on red alert because Cologne is in the relegation zone and is five points away from safety. From the last ten games, Timo Schultz's team only recorded two wins.

Bremen, on the other hand, is in the middle of the table and is six points away from international business. Both teams have to compensate for serious failures. While Werder are missing three central defenders, Cologne has to make do without three center forwards.

For Cologne, the little used Uth is still missing. This will also be the case for striker Waldschmidt who must still remain in care for a few months. On the other hand, the top scorer Selke (5 goals) is hoped for and he could even return to the group this week. On the other hand, defender Chabot is suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards.

As for the forces present, captain Kainz (3 goals) and the young Alidou (2 goals in 2024) will be well operational. The only scorer for his side last week, the full-back Finkgrafe was injured at the end of the match against Hoffenheim but he should feature well in the group this Friday evening.
