Fortuna Koln vs Ahlen tips and predictions

Salvage mission for Ahlen

Ahlen might be humbled but the price for Fortuna Koln doesn't appeal.

The hosts were rightly installed as favourites but they're not unassailable. Fortuna Koln have been up and down. They've lost 2 of their last 3 games at home. Another thing is that goals are noticeable by their absence. They've been goalless in 4 of their last 11 matches on their own turf. Depending on the nature of the line-up they face at kick-off, this stat could be significant. In the most part they've not been punished but sometimes losing their shape has cost them. They have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 4 home matches. Maybe this lends further evidence for the upset.

Ahlen are frequently showing what they've got in the locker. Written off by many, the visitors will be up for this. They've scored three or more goals in 2 of their last 5 games. If they're expecting to get anything from the game they'll be desperate to add to that strike rate.

Away from the 1X2 there's a low confidence backup bet in the Both Teams To Score market with the No option.

The head-to-head results show that Fortuna Koln have only won once in the last 4 matches between these two teams.
