Koln<\/a> host Heidenheim<\/a> in a fixture that could shape the Bundesliga<\/a> relegation battle. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both sides have struggled for consistency this season, but Koln will look to exploit their stronger home form and technical edge, while Heidenheim hope recent head-to-head resilience gives them an advantage. Kick-off is at 16:30 CET on Sunday 10 May at the RheinEnergieStadion, with both teams desperate for points as the season nears its climax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bets & Predictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Prediction<\/th>\nOdds & Bookmaker<\/th>\nConfidence<\/th>\nWhy We’re Backing It<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
Koln to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(54.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe’re backing Koln to win because they boast higher possession (47%), better pass accuracy (81%) and shot accuracy (49%) than Heidenheim. They’ve also conceded fewer goals and created almost as many big chances. At home, with their season on the line, the edge goes to Koln.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Under 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/8 @ Bet365<\/a>
(38.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to both sides’ poor conversion rates. Koln and Heidenheim have missed a combined 106 big chances this season, and neither has a clinical attacking talisman. Three of their last six meetings ended with two or fewer goals.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
