FC Koln vs Wolfsburg
German Bundesliga
Date: 7 May 2022, Saturday
Kick-off at 14:30 UK / 15:30 CET
Venue: RheinEnergieStadion (Koln).
FC Koln will be searching for their fifth straight league win on Saturday afternoon when they host Wolfsburg in Gameweek 33.
The hosts are scoring goals for fun at the moment and they will come into this tie on the back of netting at least three goals in each of the last four wins.
Their latest victims were Augsburg as the Billy Goats bagged four goals past them last weekend at WWK Arena.
Jan Thielmann, Mark Uth, and Anthony Modeste were all on target on the occasion, the latter completing a brace.
The mentioned four-win thread brought FC Koln up to the sixth place in the Bundesliga ladder. They are only three points shy of Freiburg in fourth place and could potentially break into the top-four with wins over Wolfsburg and Stuttgart in the remaining two matches.
The team led by Steffen Baumgart are huge favorites here against the Wolves who have been struggling badly to keep things quiet defensively of late on travels.
Wolfsburg lost three and drew one of the last four away outings in the league. They have shipped two or more goals in four of the previous five Bundesliga ties on the road.
This negative streak includes a tough 6-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund, as well as a 3-2 defeat at Freiburg and a 3-0 loss at Augsburg.
