Cologne vs Union Berlin: Who will progress to the next round of the German Cup?
On Tuesday, October 27, we will witness a German Cup clash between Cologne and Union Berlin. The match kicks off at 20:45 CET, and I have a betting tip for this fixture.
Cologne vs Union Berlin: Match Preview
In recent years, Cologne have moved between the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 on several occasions. Last season, they collected just 32 points, but that was enough to finish in a relatively comfortable 14th place. The club started the current campaign with a win, but their results have been less consistent since then. After a narrow 1-0 away defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, the team played out a goalless draw with Schalke.
Union Berlin played in the Champions League a few seasons ago, but subsequently found themselves in the relegation play-off zone and only narrowly avoided dropping into the second division. In the spring, the team even managed to climb to 11th place, finishing with 39 points. However, the current season got off to a poor start, with the Berlin side collecting just one point in their first four rounds. They finally secured their first win in October. Since then, the team have drawn twice, against Borussia Dortmund and Augsburg.
