1. FC Köln vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction 20 March 2022

As part of the twenty-seventh round of the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund, claiming the title, will go to visit a very uncomfortable opponent, Cologne.

In just a year, Cologne have turned from a hopeless outsider into a real contender for the finish line in the Europa League zone. After recent games with RB Leipzig (1:3), Eintracht (1:0), Greuther Furth (1:1), Hoffenheim (0:1) and Bayer (1:0), the Billy Goats have earned 39 points on a goal difference of 37:39 and ended up in seventh position.

In a similar period of time, Borussia Dortmund tied 1:1 with Augsburg and also turned out to be stronger than Union (3:0), Borussia Monchengladbach (6:0), Arminia (1:0) and Mainz (1:0). The Black-Yellows are still in second place with 56 points and a 66:37 goal statistic. But their backlog from the leaders has reduced to only four points.

At a critical moment, Borussia Dortmund improved their game in defense and learned to win in class. Yes, Cologne will impose a worthy competition on Dortmund. But we do not think that the hosts will become the authors of the sensation.
