Köln gegen Schalke Tipp & Quoten, 22.05.2021 – 15:30
On Saturday afternoon, 22.05.2021 at 3:30 pm, FC Köln will receive FC Schalke 04 at the Rhein-Energie-Stadion on the last and decisive match day of the Bundesliga. After winning the points last weekend at Hertha BSC, the cathedrals continued to breathe, but also missed the jump to a non-relegation spot. With 30 points, the FC is penultimate in the table and has a counter less than Werder Bremen on the relegation spot and two less on the rescuing shore (Arminia Bielefeld). The royal blues have descended safely for a long time and can play freely. In the last home game, the district club Eintracht beat Frankfurt in the Veltins Arena and now has 16 points on the credit side.

Friedhelm Funkel’s team had a bit more of a game in Berlin, but they were also forced to move and were not allowed to lose. There was so much at stake for both teams that there were hardly any goal space scenes. For FC Rexhbecaj had the first half chance (17th). On the other side FC goalkeeper Horn played twice against Radonjic (30th) and Ngankam (39th). After the change of sides, there was still not much on the green. The goats slowly came under time pressure and then became a bit more dangerous in the final phase – Jacob and Wolf had two goal approaches (77th, 79th). The capital club risked nothing more and celebrated class survival through the dot. Cologne must continue to shake.
The Funkel team lost only one of the last four league games and won twice during this period. But these two victories were also the only ones from the last 13 games. Only one of the last six home games has been won by FC (three defeats, two draws). The Domstädter are the worst home team in the league with two home wins, five draws and nine bankruptcies. Only Schalke conceded more goals in his own stadium than Cologne (31). This is what it looks like after 33 match days with 60 goals. Only the S04 appears even more wobbly at the back. With 33 goals in the season, the FC leaves only Schalke and Bielefeld behind.
Midfielder Ellyes Skhiri is the only FC player out on the weekend (Yellow Block).

The boys had the better start in their home game against Frankfurt and Huntelaar had the first opportunity to lead (6th). Less than ten minutes later, the forward scored 1-0 for the relegated (15th). The Hesse fought back and were in control with increasing playing time. Consequently, Silva scored relatively quickly for the 1:1 equalisation (29th). Even before the break, Ndicka (36th) and Silva (45th +2) forgave the lead. At half past two the post went off – Ndicka turned the game 2-1 for the Eintracht (51st). This time the team of Dimitrios Grammozis did not fall apart, but fought back – 2:2 Idrizi (53rd). The guests brought the quick response completely out of the concept. The S04 turned up and went through the gates of Flick (60th) and Hippe (64th) with 4:2 in front. Frankfurt needed something to cope with the shock, then approached 3-4 with Silva’s header (72nd). In the final phase it could have been a 4:4, but Silva and Zuber (78th, 79th) did not use their shot possibilities.
The Grammozis elf stopped the negative run of four bankruptcies in a row and entered the first third victory of the season against Frankfurt. The three full successes were in the Veltins Arena. Thus, the royal blues are still without threes and the worst guest team in the upper house (four draws, 12 defeats). No one scored fewer away goals (11) and collected more (51) at the back. After all, the shorts no longer have the worst offensive of the Bundesliga (25 goals). Ascendant Arminia Bielefeld scored only 24 times. With 85 goals, the precinct club represents the league’s by far shooting range.
Benjamin Stambouli, William, Matija Nastasic, Nassim Boujellab, Omar Mascarell, Hamza Mendyl are injured in Cologne. Suat Serdar, Can Bozdogan and Levent Mercan are not quarantined in Corona and also in the cathedral city.

FC Köln will be the favourite in the home game against Schalke 04. Despite the recent success of the royal blues against Eintracht Frankfurt, the district club is no longer interested in anything and they also have a long injured list, including three players in quarantine. Away, the S04 has also not won a single game this season. After all, the cathedrals took a point in the capital, with a Hertha that has been unbeaten for a long time. In the last home game against SC Freiburg, the FC was in good shape (1:4). Before that, the Rhinelanders managed a surprising 2-1 home win against RB Leipzig. We bet that the Sparkle Elf cannot take this template and the game wins clearly.
