Update
Good afternoon! Welcome to the Rhein Energie Stadion to enjoy the matchday 24 of the Bundesliga. At 3:30 p.m. Cologne and Bayer Leverkusen dispute a new edition, specifically number 90, of the Derby of the Rhine…with extremely conflicting objectives.
He Cologne is in relegation promotion positions to 2.Bundesliga (16th) eight away from salvation. They will therefore seek to take advantage of Bochum’s defeat (1-4) yesterday afternoon against RB Leipzig and make good of the draw achieved the last day against Stuttgart. Leverkusen, for its part, can leave half the Bundesliga doomed today after the latest setback by Bayern. If he added the three points today he would already mark a distance of 10 points with the Bavarians… with 10 games left. They have four consecutive victories in the Bundesliga and, with the victory they achieved last week against Mainz (2-1), they have established a new record in the German championship: They have gone 33 games without losing.
Now, it is a fairly even confrontation throughout history. Of the 90 times they have met, Leverkusen has emerged victorious on 35 and Cologne on 25. At the Rhein Energie Stadion, however, the balance favors Cologne (14 wins to Leverkusen’s 12). In the last five games the duel could not be more even. There are two victories for each one and a draw. In the last precedent, yes, Xabi Alonso’s men swept (3-0). Very hot derby ahead of us with both teams risking their lives… in two very different tiers. Can you come with us?
