Cologne vs. Hertha Tipp & Quoten, 15.08.2021 – 17:30
On the early Sunday evening, August 15, 2021 at 5:30 pm, FC Köln and Hertha BSC will contest the final duel on the first day of the new Bundesliga football season at the Rhein-Energie-Stadion. The goats reached the relegation via the last-minute goal against Schalke 04 and then secured the league against second division side Holstein Kiel. The old lady invested a lot of money last season, but received little income in the form of points. The capital city came in 14th (34 points) and fell far short of their own expectations.

The Domstädter went last but one in the last match of last season against Schalke 04, who had already been relegated, and won by 1-0 (86th) due to the late header goal of Bornauw. The team of ex-coach Friedhelm Funkel exerted enormous pressure in the last 20 minutes and earned the three points. At the same time Werder Bremen lost 2-4 to Gladbach at home, so the FC jumped to the relegation field and met Holstein Kiel there. After the 0-1 defeat in the first leg against the North Germans in their own four walls, things didn’t look good at first. In the return game with the storks, however, the Rhinelanders swept the second division side 5-1 off the podium and led 3-1 after only 13 minutes. In the end, the league was also deserved due to the high victory.
The Baumgart-Elf lost only one of the last five league games and celebrated three vital victories during this period. The last three home games scored six points against RB Leipzig (2:1), SC Freitag (1:4) and Schalke 04 (1:0). With only three wins, five draws and nine defeats, only the relegated Bremen and Schalke were even weaker at home. Only the S04 scored more goals in its own four walls than the goat goats (31). The same was true of the entire season. With 60 goals conceded, Schalke was once again insecure at the back. The offensive was also not really suitable for the Bundesliga (34 hits). Only Arminia Bielefeld and Schalke 04 scored less often at the front.
Last weekend, FC Köln struggled in the first round of the DFB Cup. After 120 minutes, regional league player Carl Zeiss Jena was unable to get past a 1-1 lead and the early lead for the outsider was only equalised late. In the penalty shootout, the Bundesliga player then held the upper hand and moved in on lap two.
Locks or injuries are not known.

The team of Pal Dardai was rescued from the last league game of last season at TSG Hoffenheim and was able to tackle the game in Breisgau without any pressure. For the TSG it was nothing more and so not much happened until shortly before the break whistle, until the guests went through a Darida header with 1:0 in the front (43.). For a long time, however, the Capital Club could not rejoice, as in 1899 Adamyan was able to equalise quickly after a new kick-off to 1:1 (49.). The pressure of the Hoffenheim team increased with the duration of the game and so the deserved 2:1 victory goal by Kramaric (90th +1) was scored in the extra time.
The Dardai team was undefeated in eight consecutive league games (three wins, five draws) before the bankruptcy in Hoffenheim and secured the survival of the league through this series. The old lady celebrated only three victories in the past season in the foreign country. Just three clubs were even worse away.
Last Sunday saw the season opener for the Berliners with the cup game at SV Meppen. The third division team demanded everything from Hertha and the favourite from the capital only managed to score 1-0 (90th +1) in the extra time by Davie Selke.
Krzysztof Piatek will fail due to injury. Goalkeeper Rune Jarstein (Corona) can’t be found in the cathedral city either.

The last Bundesliga game of the 1st matchday between FC Köln and Hertha BSC is completely balanced. The old lady is in a better position on paper, but already last season she fell short of her own expectations. The goats put in a good end of the season and managed to stay in the league due to the relegation games against Holstein Kiel. Both teams want to do better in the new season and hope to start with a threesome accordingly. We think a scoring draw is very likely.
Accordingly, we also favor the goal bets on the market for this Bundesliga tip forecast “Both teams meet? Yes”. If at least one goal is scored on both sides of the game, the sports bet is considered to have been won. The odds offered are in the range around 1.65.
