Two sides separated by just a single point in the Bundesliga<\/a> table meet at RheinEnergieStadion on Friday, 30 January (kick-off: 19:30), as Koln<\/a> host Wolfsburg<\/a> in a match that promises plenty of attacking intent but also questions about defensive resilience. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With both teams locked on 28 goals from 19 games and only one win in their last five head-to-heads for Koln, the stakes feel especially high as they look to pull away from the chasing pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Both Teams To Score – Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n1\/2 @ Bet365<\/a>
(66.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing both teams to find the net because Koln and Wolfsburg have identical attacking records, and four of their last six meetings saw both sides score. Defensively, neither has kept more than two clean sheets all season, so goals should flow.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Draw<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(27.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWith three of their last six meetings ending level and both teams recording five draws already this season, a stalemate cannot be ruled out. The odds look generous given how evenly matched these two have been both historically and this season.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
