Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
RB Leipzig to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/10 @ Matchbook<\/a>
(47.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing RB Leipzig to win because they have won 7 of their last 13 meetings with Koln and are 5th in the table with a +11 goal difference. Leipzig are vastly superior in both attack and defence, scoring 38 goals (1.9 per game) and conceding just 27, and their away record includes a 3-1 win over Koln earlier this season.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams To Score – No<\/strong><\/td>\n15\/8 @ SkyBet<\/a>
(34.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value in backing ‘No’ on Both Teams To Score, as Leipzig have kept 9 clean sheets in 20 matches (45%), including a 6-0 win over Koln last season. Koln have struggled for attacking creativity, converting just 17 of their 37 big chances, and have failed to score in several recent losses to Leipzig.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
