This Saturday at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg, one of the matches of Bundesliga matchday 3 will feature the home team facing Cologne. I recommend a bet on goals for this event, with good chances for success.
The home team recently let a win slip away, drawing 1-1 with Mainz. Coach Paul Simonis’s side is still unbeaten, but their defense has been vulnerable, conceding in 14 of their last 15 matches. Wolfsburg’s attack is also inconsistent, often failing to score more than once at home.
Additionally, Wolfsburg is enduring a lengthy home winless streak, having gone nine games without a victory, with six draws and three losses. The addition of Christian Eriksen might help their midfield, but immediate changes are unlikely. Missing several key players further diminishes their potential.
Cologne enters this match on a high after a commanding 4-1 victory against Freiburg. Under coach Lukas Kwasniok, they have been earning points and showcasing five high-scoring performances in the last six matches. Their attacking play is impressing, reminiscent of stronger times.
However, Cologne’s away record is a concern, as they have failed to win 10 of their last 11 Bundesliga away games, often scoring just once in those matches. On a positive note, their defense has been robust, particularly on the road.
This match is expected to feature relatively few goals: both teams are facing scoring difficulties—Wolfsburg at home, Cologne on the road. Based on current form and statistics, the best bet appears to be “under 3.0 total goals” at odds of 1.60.
