Koln host Freiburg at the RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday (April 29) in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have had their struggles this season but have picked up important points in recent weeks and are pushing for a top-half finish. Koln beat Hoffenheim 3-1 in their last game. They were three goals up before their opponents scored a late consolation. Koln are 11th in the Bundesliga with 35 points from 29 games.
Freiburg, meanwhile, are also playing well at the moment and have their sights set on qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. They carried out a 4-0 thrashing of Schalke in their last league outing.
Michael Gregoritsch scored a first-half brace before Lucas Holer and Matthias Ginger got on the scoresheet in the second half. The visitors are fourth in the league table with 53 points.

Koln vs Freiburg Prediction
Koln have picked up two wins and as many draws in their last four games after losing four of their previous five. They're , however, winless in their last four home games and could struggle here.
Freiburg, meanwhile, are on a run of back-to-back wins and have lost just one of their last six games across competitions. They should take this one, albeit narrowly.
Prediction: Koln 0-1 Freiburg
