Hamburger SV v FC Koln : Bundesliga 2 match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 18th Jan, 19:30 BST, Volksparkstadion, Hamburg

Saturday evening at the Volksparkstadion, and it’s a Bundesliga 2 showdown between Hamburger SV and FC Koln. Steffen Baumgart and Gerhard Struber will be doing all they can to claim the win. All statistics, including 20-game form for both teams and head-to-head records, will update as you click through each of the seventeen betting markets via the tabs below. The best odds and, of course, KickOff's predictions will too.


Best Tip: Both teams to score

Hamburg should have reason to feel optimistic ahead of this game and, funnily enough, so might Köln. The bookies don't think there's much between them and neither do we – there's no clear winner in this fixture. So we look to the both teams to score market, where there's far more reason to be certain. The form statistics, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookmakers odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and that's the bet we'd recommend you go with.
