1. FC Köln hosts Bayer Leverkusen in a Bundesliga fixture where both sides seek to consolidate their league standing. Köln currently sits just four points above the relegation zone, making home points vital. Their recent form shows a mixed bag with two wins, one draw, and two losses in the last five matches. Offensively, Köln has scored 9 goals in their last 4 games, led by forward Andersson, who has been key in their attack this season.

At home, Köln averages 1.5 goals per game but concedes at a rate of 1.3, revealing defensive vulnerabilities that could be exploited. Leverkusen, meanwhile, is positioned comfortably in the upper half, chasing European qualification. Their away form is patchy, with just one clean sheet in seven road games and conceding 9 goals in their last 4 away matches.
