Inspecting their prior head to head clashes stretching back to 18/03/2018 tells us that Bayer Leverkusen have won 3 of them and Cologne 2, with the number of drawn matches standing at 1. A combined total of 19 goals were scored between them in this period, with 12 for Leverkusen and 7 netted by Köln. That’s an average goals per game figure of 3.17.

The last league match featuring these clubs was Bundesliga 1 match day 9 on 24/10/2021 and the score finished Cologne 2-2 Bayer Leverkusen. On that occasion, Cologne managed 62% possession and 19 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Their only player on the scoresheet was Anthony Modeste (63', 82'). Bayer Leverkusen had 9 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. Patrik Schick (15') and Karim Bellarabi (17') scored. The match was refereed by Felix Zwayer.

Prediction
Our feeling is that Cologne will surely be able to get a goal against this Bayer Leverkusen lineup, but it realistically won’t be enough to prevent defeat. We’re tipping a narrow 2-1 win for Bayer Leverkusen at full-time. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.

回顾他们早在2018年3月18日的交锋，我们发现勒沃库森赢了其中的3场，科隆赢了2场，平局的比赛数量为1场。在此期间，两队共进19球，其中勒沃库森12球，Köln进7球。也就是平均每场进球3.17个。

这些俱乐部的上一场联赛比赛是在2021年10月24日的德甲第9场比赛中，科隆以2比2战胜拜耳勒沃库森。在那次比赛中，科隆控球率为62%，有19次射门，其中5次射正。他们唯一得分的球员是安东尼·莫德斯蒂(63分，82分)。勒沃库森有9次射正，其中6次射正。帕特里克·希克(15分)和卡里姆·贝拉比(17分)得分。这场比赛由菲利克斯·茨韦耶担任裁判。

预测
我们的感觉是科隆肯定能在对阵勒沃库森的阵容中取得进球，但实际上这还不足以阻止败北。我们预测勒沃库森将以2比1险胜。我很期待这一场会如何展开。
