We said: FC Koln 1-2 Wolfsburg

This is likely to be a tight match between two relatively evenly-matched teams, but Koln's lack of offensive firepower due to several injury issues could end up costing them. Despite missing Nmecha due to injury yet again, Wolfsburg retain several technically proficient attacking options, with Wind set to be full of confidence after bagging a brace against Heidenheim. We can envisage a marginal away win. Read more.
