FREAKTIPS PREVIEW
Lower leagues such as German Bundesliga 2, it almost impossible to find the latest news regarding the injuries, team confidence, etc. Therefore, tonite's match review between FC Koln and Kaiserslautern would be purely stats based and odds movement based.
Lets have a look at the head to head record between these 2 teams :
May 20, 07
2. Bundesliga
FC Kaiserslautern
2 - 2
FC Köln
Dec 15, 06
2. Bundesliga
FC Köln
2 - 2
FC Kaiserslautern
Feb 7, 06
1. Bundesliga
FC Kaiserslautern
2 - 2
FC Köln
I have omitted older head to head records as I think that would be irrelevant to be taken into consideration. All past 3 games between both team have ended up stalemate and coincidently the same score, which is 2-2.
Formbook on FC Koln
FC Koln has won their last 4 games at home. Their last home defeat was to FC Freiburg(1-3) on the 7th September 2007.
Formbook on FC Kaiserslautern
FC Kaiserslautern last away game saw them winning a thrilling 7 goal encounter (3-4) against St Pauli. Apart from that, FC Kaiserslautern has yet to show any outstanding performance playing in away games. Apart from holding a couple of mid table teams to a draw, I doubt FC Kaiser is able to hold FC Koln to a draw tonite.
Summary
- Oddsmakers are offering a double handicap for this match at -0.75 and -1. Currently as of writing, I believe the handicap is at -0.75. Sticking to my odds calculation concepts, I am on FC Koln tonite. (1 point for FC Koln)
- FC Kaiser has a terrible away record as previewed earlier. I doubt there would be any surprises for this match. FC Koln would be looking to extend their home win record by registering a comfortable win against lowly Kaiser tonite. (1 point for FC Koln)
- Past head to head record between both team showed that the last 3 games have ended up with a 2-2 draw. FC Kaiser last 2 aways matches have ended up with more then 2.5 goals. FC Koln last 5 home matches have ended up with more then 2.5 goals. Based on historical statistics, I shall place stake a small amount on FC Kaiser to draw and Over 2.75 FT.
- FC Koln winning tonite would see them move to third in the league before the Christmas break hence placing them in contention for promotion to the German Bundesliga next season. (1 point for FC Koln)
Verdict : FC Koln -0.75 (3 Star),
FC Koln Over 2.75(1 Star)
and FC Koln to Draw (1 Star)
3 Star indicates - 30 units bet placed, 1 Star indicates - 10 units bet placed

Wonderfull comeback for Koln as they fought from a goal down to win the game 2-1
Hit a double on Koln -0.75FT and Koln Over 2.75. Koln to draw was a safety net in the event if the game ended with a draw.
Luckily, Koln prevailed and scored the winning goal late in the 2nd half, hence ensuring them a third placing in the Bundesliga 2 going into the new year.
