RB Leipzig welcome FC Cologne at Red Bull Arena Leipzig, Leipzig on Saturday, Apr 17 at 3:30 PM in a Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

RB Leipzig come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 2L). FC Cologne travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours RB Leipzig here — they've won 5 of 10 previous meetings against FC Cologne, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in FC Cologne won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives RB Leipzig a slight edge, but FC Cologne are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
