A Goal-Filled Encounter Amid European Ambitions
Key Stats
– Cologne’s last three away fixtures have seen goals from both teams.
– Three of Bayer Leverkusen’s last six games have finished in a draw.
The upcoming Europa League semi-final matchup between Bayer Leverkusen and Roma might overshadow this Friday night’s Bundesliga matchup between the two teams.
Leverkusen are currently trailing fourth-placed Freibug by eight points, so with just four games remaining in the season, their best chance of securing a spot in next season’s Champions League lies in winning the Europa League. For this reason, we expect them to prioritise next Thursday’s clash ahead of this Friday’s affair.

Cologne, on the other hand, have little left to place in this season as they have achieved a mid-table position with their four-game unbeaten run that ended after losing 1-0 to Freiburg in their last game.
Goals Opportunities Expected from Both Sides
With the Europa League semi-final around the corner, it is likely that Bayer will choose to rotate their squad. Although this is likely to have an impact on the game, I still believe the hosts will want to secure a win to build their confidence ahead of Thursday’s clash.
Upset on the cards in Leverkusen
Under normal circumstances, Bayer Leverkusen would be the favourite to win this clash, but with their attention directed towards their Europa League semi-final, we might see a more open affair. Cologne have found form recently on the road, having won their last two games after a disappointing run of just one win in 13 away league matches.
In Cologne’s last three away games, in addition to three of their last four overall, both teams have found the back of the net. Additionally, Cologne have drawn six of their last 15 away games and two of their last five overall, while three of Bayer’s last five games across all competitions have ended in stalemates. For these reasons, I believe a 2-2 prediction in the correct score market to be plausible.
