In Cologne, the signs are currently on storm. The 1.FC Cologne has lost the last 5 fixtures all together, a new coach was obliged, the descent moves into dangerous proximity. The new one at the helm in the cathedral city is Urs Fischer. He has taken over the scepter of Achim Beierlorzer before the last matchday, but could not score points in his debut against Leipzig. The dress rehearsal in Leipzig went badly with a 1: 4 defeat. It is the fourth defeat in a row in the Bundesliga, the fifth in all competitions. In the DFB Pokal they went down against fourth division Saarbrücken 3: 2. All in all, the 1. FC Cologne put a weak season so far. Nothing seems to work.

After 12 games, the Cologne have recorded only 2 wins and 1 draw on their account, nine defeats had already been accepted. Right at the start of the season, they lost 2 games in a row, Matchday 3 brought the first points with an away win over the SC Freiburg. Since then, they have again lost 7 of the 9 league games. The negative series was interrupted only by a draw on Matchday 7 and the first home win against SC Paderborn on Matchday 8. Since then, the Cologne have brought no more points. After 12 matchdays just 7 points are in the account of the Billy Goats, which currently means place 17 in the table.

 

Whether the new coach can initiate a turnaround, it is important to wait, with the FC Augsburg is the fear opponents of Cologne on the board. Of the last 9 duels with FC Augsburg, FC Cologne could not win a single. 5 defeats and 4 draws were noted. The omens for this duel do not speak for the people of Cologne. Alone the gate balance of 11:27 gates speaks volumes. Despite their underground performances, the people of Cologne are the favorites of the bookies in Cologne, what we think about that you can read in our bet tip.

 

Will the FC Augsburg Cologne's fear opponents?

Free soccer predictions

The current Bundesliga season has been a turbulent one for FC Augsburg so far. Despite the successes of recent weeks, it is seething below the surface. Dissatisfied players, especially Michael Gregoritsch, express their displeasure towards the coach media effective. After the 4: 0 success over Hertha BSC, also reported Defense chief Jeff Gouweleeuw to speak and criticized the coach in the press conference. The mood in Augsburg anything but harmonious. Gregoritsch was even suspended by the club because he told the press that he wanted "in the winter away from Augsburg [...] away main thing".

But after a discussion with the management, he is back in training, the mood has certainly hurt the last few weeks. Although the results of the last time consistently turned out positive, even two wins in a row you could get last, the heated minds have not yet cooled. Now it will become clear whether coach Martin Schmidt can unite his team behind him or not. The Augsburg had previously delivered a bumpy season. After 12 games Augsburg is in 12th place in the table, 13 points have been recorded so far. With the two wins of the last two games you have won a total of 3 games, 4 draws you could also get. So far you have suffered 5 defeats, 3 of them away. Their only away win to date was their last away game against SC Paderborn. The Augsburg have celebrated 17 goals so far, conceded 24 goals.

 

In only 2 of the previous 12 games remained without scoring, away you have scored only against Wolfsburg no goal. The last duel with the 1.FC Köln ended in Cologne with a 1-1 draw, before that Augsburg has won 2 duels in a row for themselves. Whether the turbulence within the team will finish the series of 9 duels without defeat will show, the disputes will probably not pass without a trace.

Bet Tip and Forecast

Free soccer picks

As already noted, the Cologne are favored by the bookmakers, for us does not speak much for the Cologne. From a classic away bet, we would rather decency and move to other betting markets. Contrary to the estimation of bookmakers, we think Augsburg has a good chance of winning. With a double chance X / 2, we would secure the draw. A bet on over 2.5 goals can also be interesting in the weak defensive performances of the two. Our personal tip: Double Chance X / 2.

The mission of Markus Gisdol is solely and solely to preserve the 1. FC Cologne again before the transition to the second division. The billy goats are in a deep crisis. Not for nothing have sports boss Armin Veh and coach Achim Beierlorzer been replaced. Horst Heldt and Markus Gisdol should judge it now.

 

Thus, the Cologne have brought two players on board, the last as a coach in Hamburg or as sports director in Hanover have delivered not very convincing work. Whether this was the right way of the Effzeh will have to show in the coming weeks and months. On Saturday there will be a groundbreaking match against FC Augsburg.

The Cologne are in the table on rank 17 and thus on a relegation place. But the relegation place is already four points away. Seven counters from twelve games are a disastrous result. In addition, the Cologne have the worst goal difference. Augsburg has been able to work its way out of the coarsest mess and is now in twelfth place with 13 points.

 

Markus Gisdol is now not necessarily a coach who takes over a team, turns on the right screws and the success comes. At HSV he remained at the beginning of his involvement there in the first seven games without a win. That could mean that in the match between Cologne and Augsburg, a prediction on a home win is rather out of the question.

In addition, comes with Augsburg now the fear opponents in the cathedral city. The FCA has not lost against Cologne in the last nine games. Not against Bayern, Dortmund or any other heavyweight Cologne has the worst record in the Bundesliga, but against the Fugger city. Therefore, in the duel between Cologne and Augsburg, a tip for an away win could certainly have its justification.

For 1. FC Cologne is already about survival. It would be important to make the connection to the midfield before the winter break, otherwise the prospects for the second half are rather cloudy. At best, you start with the victory already on Saturday. The kick-off for the 13th round of the Rhein-Energie-Stadion will take place on 30.11.2019 at 15:30.

 

Cologne - Statistics & Current Form

 

Where does the path of 1. FC Köln lead? If we look at the table right now, then the acclaimed return to the Bundesliga will only last for a year.

Only once in the glorious history of Cologne were the Cologne after twelve matchdays worse there, and that in the 2017/18 season, as the Effzeh at the end of the bitter gait had to compete in the second division.

In the form table it looks for the Billy goats currently not very good. There have been five defeats in the last five competitive games. For more than two years, Cologne have not made such a bad series more. It is interesting that the Cologne men of the previous year now form the worst attack in the Bundesliga. There are no more than 12 goals left in the team.

It is striking that the Rhinelanders have more often hit with the head than with the foot. Especially at corners of the 1st FC Cologne is very dangerous. However, this is also the only positive statistics in which the Cologne are leaders. We therefore remain in the duel Cologne against Augsburg rather the odds to consider an away win.

 

Last weekend, the Effzeh came at RB Leipzig evil under the wheels. With the 1: 4 the Billy goats were very well served at the end. After just over half an hour, it was 3: 0 for the Saxons. Although Rafael Czichos was able to shorten, but really hope did not germinate. In the final phase, the Bulls still hit the 4-1 final score.

In the current phase, there are no easy opponents for the Cologne. Therefore, Markus Gisdol has promised to take the Augsburgers seriously. He sees the FCA as the most underrated team in the Bundesliga. However, if the Cologneers in their current situation should make the mistake of taking an opponent on the light side, then they are beyond help anyway.

Currently, Markus Gisdol has only two injured players to complain. Christian Clemens, Jorge Mere and Vincent Koziello will not be available. Otherwise, all players are ready for action. Simon Terodde could slip into the starting lineup. The same is possible with Florian Kainz and Marco Höger. Overall, the new coach will have to decide on several positions.

Expected formation of Cologne:

 

Horn - Ehizibue, Bornauw, Czichos, Hector - Skhiri, Verstraete - Drexler, Schaub, Kainz - Terodde - Coach: Gisdol

Augsburg - Statistics & Current Form

 

When we think about the best and most effective new entrants in this Bundesliga season, Philippe Coutinho, Thorgan Hazard, Julian Brandt or other big names tend to play a subordinate role. Florian Niederlechner, on the other hand, is the newcomer who was the most successful with five goals.

After the release of Manuel Baum, it took a while for Martin Schmidt to get the team in the right direction. Meanwhile, however, the Swiss has managed to get his players fit and motivated to the point. Augsburg is in fact in the weeks of truth and has mastered these so far with victories over the cellar children Paderborn and Hertha perfectly.

Free soccer predictions

In the last five games of the FCA conceded only one defeat. If we like, then the 2: 2 against Bayern was the turning point for the Fuggerstädter, who have come back to their old strength at the right time of the season. This is the next clue, in the game between Cologne and Augsburg, unlike the bookmakers to make a prediction in the direction of away win.

 

Last weekend Augsburg delivered perhaps the best performance of the season, but against a very indisposed team of Hertha BSC. After half an hour, the game had already gone, as Philipp Max and Sergio Cordova put on 2: 0 and the Hertha keeper flew off. Andre Hahn and Florian Niederlechner were able to add two more goals to the 4-0 victory in the second stage.

Stefan Reuter is impressed by the development of the last weeks, but the sporting boss of the FCA makes it clear that the iron has to be forged further. He sees the team in good condition and believes that under the circumstances a win in Cologne is not unrealistic if the players reach their limits or beyond.

Free soccer predictions

That will not apply to Alfred Finnbogason, Marek Suchy and Felix Götze, who are still injured. Marco Richter and Sergio Cordova should have healed their injuries by the weekend. Michael Gregoritsch could also become an issue again after his suspension was lifted. Whether Martin Schmidt relies on the Austrian, but is more than questionable.

 

Expected formation of Augsburg:

 

Koubek - Framberger, Gouweleeuw, Jedvaj, Max - Khedira, Baier, Hahn, Vargas - Niederlechner, Cordova - Coach: Schmidt

In direct comparison, the FCA is indeed only with 6: 4 victories in five draws ahead, but the trend is clearly in the direction of the Fugger city, who have not lost nine games against the Billy goats.

Cologne vs. Augsburg Tip & Prognosis - 30.11.2019

Free soccer picks

The 1st FC Cologne is at the crossroads. The team seems completely unsettled and it could take a long time before Markus Gisdol can turn things around. At his last stop in Hamburg, it took eight games before he could celebrate the first victory. So long do the Billy Goats have no time. The turnaround must come, and immediately.

 

However, there was no victory against Augsburg in the last nine games. The FCA is also well on the way to the secured midfield of the table. After all, there was only one defeat in the last five games. Sounds more like it, as in the game Cologne against Augsburg a tip to an away win the only sensible choice.

Key-Facts - Cologne vs. Augsburg tip

There could be a tendency for a division of points. The quota offered, however, has little choice but to bet on an away win. Given the constellation, odds of up to 3.85 on an Augsburg success are almost unbelievable. Therefore, we decide in the match between Cologne and Augsburg for a tip to good odds on the victory of the guests.

Cologne is more and more on the ground, and even a coach change does not help. Augsburg is gradually correcting the situation despite a series of internal scandals.

The goats have a difficult situation: four consecutive defeats, a seat at the bottom of the table and no indication of a significant improvement in the situation. The change from Achim Bayerlorzer to Marcus Gisdol is more of an attempt to psychologically shake the team. But before Leipzig would have made a strong move, that would hardly have helped. The Bulls are now in top form and Cologne could predictably do nothing with the team of Julian Nagelsmann. In the 37th minute, they made the 3: 0, then the guests believed in no comeback. The 4-1 final and another router - Gisdol's debut was not the best, but initially there was little chance of success.

 

The coach immediately made a number of changes to the composition - Hector returned to the usual position of left-back, young winger Ismail Jacobs appeared unexpectedly at the start and the team moved to 4: 3: 3. I think the fist of Shhiri -Verstrat-Höger may persist, but the connection to the reserve of Drexler and Schaub from the first meeting is a rather unexpected decision

Wards Martin Schmidt now like on a powder keg - the club has problems for quite some time. Gregorich's farewell to the interview, accusations to the coach of the recovered defender Gouveleyev (the Dutchman bluntly says that the coach pulled too long when I came into the field - I've been ready for three weeks already). Remember Hinteregger's departure last year and other things - in Augsburg, someone always swears. Maybe the club has won a fairly large number of players for it - so likely that there are those who have good relationships with the coach! Seriously, while this is not tolerated on the field - Augsburg looks pretty decent. As I wrote, the Fuggers seriously strangled the calendar, the team did not easily get out of the basement in a series of high-performance games. By the end of the year, modest rivals were leaving and Augsburg began to prove that the team was not so bad. In the last two rounds the Fuggers defeated Paderborn and Hertha with a total score of 5: 0!

Free soccer predictions

Scheme 4-4-1-1 also looks organic in the absence of Finnbogasone. The injury of the Icelandic and the rebellion of Gregorich offered Cordoba a chance, which was paired with Niederlechner and immediately distinguished himself. In the center of defense, a healthy Gouvelejeuw appeared, his former partner is Edvai.

Match Predictions

 

Augsburg defeated Hertha 0-0, Paderborn 0-0 and did not miss Volysburg, after he had made three wins in the last four rounds. Cologne in attack does not shine at all and will try to play carefully for the next router. I think we will not see many goals in this couple. A draw is a very likely result, but would still rely on more played guests.
