Koln vs Fortuna Dusseldorf Preview, Predictions & Betting Tips


Koln host Fortuna Dusseldorf in the Bundesliga on Sunday. Koln threw away a 2-0 lead at Rhein Energie Stadion last weekend but can redeem themselves with Mark Uth leading the way.

Koln Form


Koln have won eight of their last 12 Bundesliga matches to climb away from the relegation zone. They won three in a row including a 5-0 win at Hertha Berlin 5-0, 3-0 home win against Schalke and 2-1 win at Paderborn.

Their last match before the break was a 2-1 defeat at Borussia Monchengladbach. Markus Gisdol’s side returned with a 2-2 home draw against Mainz.
