Bayer Leverkusen vs Koln Preview 


Koln were favorites in all three cup games so far and had to play extra-time twice to qualify. Bayer Leverkusen have been outstanding in front of the home crowd for a while now, and I will back them to earn a commanding win on Wednesday.

Stats 


  • Bayer Leverkusen have won 12 of their last 13 home matches. 
  • Bayer Leverkusen have won HT-FT in 4 of their last 5 home matches. 

HTH 


Bayer Leverkusen have a 29-18 advantage against Koln with 25 draws in 72 matches. 

They last met in March, the game being won by Bayer Leverkusen 2-0. 

Bayer Leverkusen Form 


Bayer Leverkusen’s form has been incredible in the last three months, claiming 14 victories in their last 16 appearances across competitions, but the two slips did happen recently. 

Xabi Alonso’s side has suffered a 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid on 21st January in the Champions League, followed by a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga where they had a 2-0 advantage. 

The reigning German champions bounced back with a 2-0 home victory against Sparta Prague in the UCL, while also beating Hoffenheim 3-1 last weekend. 

Koln Form 


Koln are one of the biggest contenders to win the 2. Bundesliga and return to the top flight this season, currently sitting top of the table with 37 points after 20 rounds. 

The Billy Goats started this year with a poor performance and a 1-0 road loss to Hamburg SV, but bounced back in the next round, beating Elversberg 1-0 in front of the home crowd with Dejan Ljubicic finding the net. 

They were also victorious last weekend against Eintracht Braunschweig 2-1, Eric Martel and Damion Downs on target in the first half. 

Team News 


Martin Terrier and Jeanuel Belocian are out with long-term injuries, while Nathan Tella is doubtful for the home team. 

Jacob Steen Christensen, Mathias Olesen, Mark Uth, Tim Lemperle and Luca Kilian are ruled out for Koln due to injuries. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Leverkusen: Hradecky, Mukiele, Hermoso, Hincapie, Grimaldo, Frimpong, Andrich, Palacios, Hofmann, Adli, Schick 

Koln: Schwabe, Hubers, Schmied, Heintz, Gazibegovic, Ljubicic, Martel, Paqarada, Kainz, Downs, Tigges 

Verdict

Bayer Leverkusen’s stats at home have been very impressive this season, having won 12 of their last 13 matches. Koln struggled against underdogs earlier in the German Cup, so I am backing Xabi Alonso’s side to win HT-FT on Wednesday.
