Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Hoffenheim and Köln fans should have some reason to cheer as their teams go head-to-head, with a match prediction of both teams to score looking a much better pick than any bet on the outright winner. The two teams have goals in them, as is borne out by the stats and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding real separation between the sides, as striking power and defensive options suggest each team is capable of both scoring and conceding. Both teams to score is the way to go here.
