Match Preview – 14:30 Kick-Off at the RheinEnergieStadion, Cologne
FC Köln’s midweek victory over Eintract Frankfurt means it’s just 1 defeat in 4 for Peter Stöger’s side. FC Köln have impressed at the RheinEnergieStadion all season and have lost just once there in 2016/17. There are actually 3 Bundesliga sides who remain unbeaten at home; Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim. In recent weeks, FC Köln haven’t exactly been defensively solid however and Tuesday’s win against Frankfurt was their first clean sheet in 9 games in all competitions.
Borussia Mönchengladbach have enjoyed a steady if uninspiring Bundesliga season thus far and they sit in 9th position, 4 places and 4 points behind Saturday’s opponents. They have lost just once in their last 5 games, though 3 of those have been draws. The back to back clean sheets recorded in their 2 games since last weekend will give them a lift going into the game with FC Köln – Mönchengladbach hadn’t kept the opposition out for 7 consecutive games before that.
In the reverse fixture between the 2 in November, the last gasp Marcel Risse goal handed FC Köln all 3 points. FC Köln will look to Anthony Modeste to make the difference on Saturday – the French striker has scored more than half of FC Köln’s Bundesliga goals in 2016/17 (22 of 39 goals).

FC Köln vs Borussia Mönchengladbach Predictions
Dieter Hecking’s Borussia Mönchengladbach side’s away form has been generally poor all season – they have won just 3 times from 13 fixtures on the road. When you consider that FC Köln’s only home defeat in 2016/17 so far was to Bayern Munich, you would have to make Peter Stöger’s men favourites to pick up another win.
Bet365’s odds of 13/8 for FC Köln are well worth taking in this instance. Anthony Modeste has scored 4 goals in his last 4 home games. If you want to back him to score again, you can get odds of 6/5 for him to do that anytime with Bet365.
