Wolfsburg vs FC Koln prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-09-12 13:30.
[p]Both Wolfsburg and Cologne will be hopeful the international break hasn’t stifled their momentum, as the two face off having both made unbeaten starts to the season.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Wolfsburg began life under Paul Simonis in impressive fashion, thrashing lower-league Hemelingen 9-0 in the DFB-Pokal before besting Heidenheim 3-1 in their Bundesliga opener, and they nearly went three-for-three but conceded an 89th minute penalty against Mainz in a 1-1 draw. That stemmed the Wolves’ momentum somewhat, and they return to the Volkswagen Arena with unwanted history to conquer as they’ve failed to win a club record nine successive Bundesliga home games (D6, L3).[/p]
[p]Recently appointed Cologne manager Lukas Kwasniok will be even more elated with the start to his tenure, winning all three matches, the most recent of which was an eye-catching 4-1 thrashing of Freiburg. The Billy Goats are the first promoted team to win their first two games back in the top-flight since Hannover in 2017/18, while they’ve now won each of their last five outings in competitive action. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Wolfsburg are unbeaten in the last three H2Hs against Cologne (W2, D1), but have failed to win any of the last three meetings on their own turf  (D1, L2). Five of the last six H2Hs at the Volkswagen Arena have seen both teams score.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Wolfsburg are unbeaten in their last 17 home league matches against newly promoted teams (W10, D7).[/p]
[p]Nine of Wolfsburg’s last 12 home matches saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Cologne have scored last in four of their last five games.[/p]
[p]Cologne’s last eight away games have been level at half-time.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Aaron Zehnter opened his Wolfsburg account with a goal against Mainz, with that his fourth successive goal to come on home turf. Jakub Kamiński is on loan at Cologne from Wolfsburg, and his parent club could fear an early impact here as his last three club goals have all served as the match opener. [/p]
[p]Wolfsburg are likely to remain without Denis Vavro for this one, while Mattias Svanberg is suspended after being sent off against Mainz. There’s good news for Cologne who will welcome back Florian Kainz after a brief stint on the sidelines.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Pairing the fact that only two of the last 13 H2Hs were drawn with Wolfsburg’s poor home record recently, backing Cologne in the draw no bet market looks to be an attractive proposition[/p]
