The 2023/24 season is the fifth consecutive season for FC Coln in the Bundesliga. Still, after only 16 points in the first 21 matches this year, they are only 16th on the table with a real danger of losing Bundesliga status. FC Koln won only one of the last eight league matches. In the previous game, they played 1-1 on the road against Hoffenheim. FC Koln had xG of only 0.17 in that match, so Timo Schultz's team could be very satisfied with avoiding defeat in that one.
Werder Bremen are much more stable than FC Koln this season. They are on course to a mid-table finish this year. Werder Bremen won three of the last four matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-1 at home against Heidenheim. The home side was the favorite to win in that one, but they allowed too many good opportunities to the guests, who were much more efficient, so Werder stayed empty-handed. Ole Werner's team lost last weekend, but they should have a lot of trust in themself for the game versus FC Koln after a recent good run.
FC Koln vs Werder Bremen pick: Under 2.5 goals
FC Koln scored only four goals in the last six home matches. On the other hand, Werder Bremen scored three goals in the previous three road games. Under 2.5 goals should be the best bet for this tie.

Werder Bremen have a long list of unavailable players too. They will be without Niklas Stark, Mitchell Weiser, Milos Veljkovic, Amos Pieper, and Leon Opitz in the game versus FC Koln. Naby Keita and Leonardo Bittencourt are ill at the moment, and their status for the upcoming tie should be clearer closer to the kickoff.
