Cologne and Hamburg will face each other in the first round of the 2. Bundesliga. Cologne is stronger at home and aims to return to the top league. Hamburg is consistently between 4th and 7th place. Cologne looks more confident in their preparation, while Hamburg has some injuries. Prediction: victory for Cologne.
In the opening match of the new season in the 2. Bundesliga, Cologne will host Hamburg. Cologne is aiming to return to the top flight and has shown good results under the new coach in the offseason. Hamburg, while trying to return to the Bundesliga, often makes mistakes. The match promises to be tense, with plenty of goals. Based on the statistics and form of the teams, we can expect a high-scoring game. Therefore, I predict a total of over 2.5 goals in this match.
