Why it might land
  • FC Cologne are playing at home in this fixture and the bookmakers offer them at a price of two point zero to win the match.
  • The away side Schalke come into this fixture after recording a recent run of results that includes one win one loss and two draws.
  • FC Cologne have home advantage at RheinEnergieStadion despite their recent poor run of form which includes four losses in five matches.
Why it might not
  • FC Cologne have lost four of their last five matches which makes backing them at two point zero a risky proposition for punters.
  • Schalke have shown they can pick up results on their recent run of form with a draw and a win before their most recent defeat.

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes FC Cologne the side to beat here at 46%, which gives this game a clear shape before a ball is kicked. Our model lands on FC Cologne, and it backs that with a 1 unit stake. Cologne play at home against Schalke but their recent form is poor with four losses in five matches. The market prices Cologne at two point zero to win this fixture at RheinEnergieStadion.

Form and momentum

FC Cologne come in poor, winning 21% of 38 on record. 6 of their 19 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 loss in a row.

Schalke 04 come in poor, winning 25% of 4 on record. 1 of their 2 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 draw in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 46% for KOE, 25% for the draw and 29% for S04 once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. That is a firm lean toward FC Cologne, so the question is whether the form backs the price or quietly argues against it. Our call sits at 2.00, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

Where it could go wrong
  • FC Cologne have lost four of their last five matches which makes backing them at two point zero a risky proposition for punters.
  • Schalke have shown they can pick up results on their recent run of form with a draw and a win before their most recent defeat.
The bottom line

We back FC Cologne for 1 unit. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.
