Premium Tip<\/th>Odds<\/th>Why we\u2019re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Stuttgart to win<\/strong> and both teams to score<\/strong><\/td>6\/4<\/td>Stuttgart own this fixture. Across the last six meetings they have four wins and two draws with Koln failing to win any, and they have racked up 11 goals in those games, including a 3-1 home win over Koln last season. That record, plus home advantage, underpins the win side. The both-teams angle is supported by Koln’s scoring in the recent meetings, netting in both the 1-2 and 3-1 games, and by their bright start of three goals in their opening fixture.<\/td><\/tr>
Dzenan Pejcinovic to score anytime and Gideon Mensah over 2.5 tackles<\/strong><\/td>14\/5<\/td>Pejcinovic carries a genuine scoring pedigree: eight goals from 50 shots with 23 on target across his recent Wolfsburg football, a natural box striker who could cash in if handed minutes against a Koln defence that shipped two on opening day. Mensah is Koln’s left-back, a defensive full-back whose role naturally draws him into tackling duels down the flank.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
