The research
ProKöln's two senior strikers are both compromised: Dallinga out for months with a cruciate injury, Ache a doubt with a thigh problem, on top of Hübers, Skhiri and van den Berg already missing. That is the scoring threat BTTS Yes needs from the away side, and it is not there.
Köln have lost their last four away games and are winless in 5 on the road, with Dallinga out long-term and Ache a doubt gutting their attacking threat. H2H also runs against them, 1 win in the last 10. The evidence says Köln are live to lose this, not just unlikely to win it.
“Köln arrive missing both strikers and lost four straight away; Union just need to not lose.”
