Prediction
After a heavy loss against Hannover last weekend, Cologne are in deep
relegation trouble. They are only three points above the drop zone and
need results at home now. The return of Lukas Podolski should give them
some confidence.
Dortmund are in great form at the moment. They have reached the cup
final during the week and are five points ahead of Bayern in the table. Expect Dortmund to control the game and Cologne to wait for their
chances on the counter. The away team should be favourites to win.
FC Cologne 1 - 3 Borussia Dortmund
