Borussia Mönchengladbach have lost four straight, sit bottom, and have failed to score in two away league games, with Jens Castrop, Nicolas Kühn, Enzo Leopold and Franck Honorat all short of full training. 1. FC Köln are unbeaten at home and have taken all their points there, with Said El Mala still leading the attack, but they have not kept a clean sheet. A home win is the stronger call, though a draw must be respected.

Model insight
All four of 1. FC Köln's points came at home, where they average two goals per game and El Mala drives the threat from wide; Borussia Mönchengladbach arrive bottom with four straight defeats, no goals and eight conceded in two away matches, and without Castrop, Honorat and Leopold, leaking four per game. A home win is the clear direction, yet 1. FC Köln have no clean sheets and concede 2.25 per game, so goals and the draw stay in play.
1. FC Köln have conceded in every league game this season and ship 2.25 goals per match without a single home clean sheet, so even a badly out-of-form Borussia Mönchengladbach can punish them.
The away price sits shorter than the draw, signalling caution about a Gladbach reaction; if 1. FC Köln are missing listed players such as Ache and Castro-Montes, their home attacking output drops.
