Borussia Dortmund vs 1. FC Köln Prediction 18 March 2023

Saturday's program of the twenty-fifth round of the Bundesliga will end in Dortmund, where the local Borussia will host Cologne.

Against the backdrop of recent success, Borussia Dortmund have firmly registered in second position with 50 points, goal statistics 49:30 and a gap of only two points behind the leader. Let us remind you that a week ago, the Black-Yellows had a 2:2 draw in the Ruhr derby with Schalke, and before that, they took turns defeating Werder Bremen (2:0), Hertha (4:1), Hoffenheim (1:0) and RB Leipzig (2:1).

Back in mid-February, Cologne unexpectedly easily outclassed the Champions League playoff participant Eintracht 3:0, after which they stumbled in duels with Stuttgart (0:3), Wolfsburg (0:2), Union (0:0) and Bochum (0:2). As a result, the predictable fall of the Billy Goats to twelfth place with 27 points and a goal difference of 32:38.

In the current campaign, Borussia Dortmund are practically invulnerable in the home arena, and the Cologne crisis is unlikely to create serious difficulties for them. Our prediction: a confident victory for the hosts.
