Winning Prediction

SC Freiburg vs 1. FC Köln

Bundesliga · 24 January 2026

Prediction: Both Teams to Score (BTTS) - YES

Probability: 76%

Why

Tactical Reasoning: While Freiburg is the favorite, their defensive underlying numbers are poor. Their goalkeeper consistently posts negative 'Goals Prevented' stats (e.g., -0.96, -2.07), indicating they concede saveable shots. Conversely, Köln creates sufficient danger away from home (creating 2-3 Big Chances regularly) to exploit these lapses. The tactical dynamic of Freiburg pushing high (leaving space for counters) fits Köln's profile of scoring despite losing.

Supporting stats

Supporting Evidence: Freiburg Defensive Form: Conceded in 4 of their last 5 home matches (1:1, 2:1, 1:1, 2:1). Köln Away Scoring: Scored in 3 of their last 4 away matches (2:2, 1:3, 1:1). Big Chances: Köln created 3 Big Chances vs Heidenheim and 2 vs M'gladbach away.
