Jan 22nd features a match where Bochum will host Köln in a clash of these two evenly matched Bundesliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cold day, with daytime temperatures of only 3 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. 11th placed Bochum is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Mainz 05. Jeremiah St. Juste scored the first goal for Mainz 05 in the 48th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Bochum couldn’t muster any offence and Mainz 05 ran away with the shutout win. Bochum is looking for direction having 4 win and 5 losses in their last 10 matches, while köln is fresh off their 0-4 loss against Bayern München. Robert Lewandowski scored the first goal for Bayern München in the 9th minute, then Corentin Tolisso added another in the 25th minute In the end, Köln was frustrated by Bayern München’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Bayern München ended the match with the shutout victory. Köln is looking for direction having 4 win and 3 losses in their last 10 matches.
In their last match together, Köln won by a score of 2 to 1 in front of almost 25000 jubilant fans. Louis Schaub struck first for Köln in the 82nd minute on a feed from Florian Kainz, then Tim Lemperle added another in the 1st minute of the second half’s stoppage time.
Anthony Modeste has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored four goals for Köln. Sebastian Polter and Pantovic are the top scorers for Bochum in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Bochum will be without Gerrit Holtmann, Jürgen Locadia, Eduard Löwen, Zoller and Saulo Decarli, while Steffen Baumgart’s Köln squad will be without Ellyes Skhiri and Timo Horn.
