Wolfsburg vs Köln: prediction & betting odds September 13, 2025

The Matchday 3 Bundesliga clash between Wolfsburg and Cologne will take place on September 13 at the Volkswagen Arena. Wolfsburg vs. Cologne: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Wolfsburg

Paul Simoni's side drew 1-1 with Mainz at home in their last outing, conceding a late penalty in the 89th minute to lose the lead. Despite this, Wolfsburg extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to four matches (2 wins, 2 draws). Notably, the team has failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 of their last 15 league games. Wolfsburg currently sits in sixth place in the standings with four points.


Ahead of this round, midfielder Christian Eriksen has joined the squad.


  • The team has not won in their last nine home matches in the Bundesliga (6 draws, 3 losses).
  • Both teams have scored in 5 of Wolfsburg's last 7 home league games.
  • No more than two goals have been scored in 6 of Wolfsburg's last 8 home Bundesliga matches.

Predicted lineup for Wolfsburg (4-5-1)

Kamil Grabara – Kilian Fischer, Moritz Jenz, Konstantinos Koulierakis, Aaron Center – Patrick Wimmer, Vinicius, Lovro Majer, Maximilian Arnold, Andreas Olsen – Dženan Pejčinović.


Defender Denis Vavro and midfielder Kevin Paredes are out due to injuries. Midfielder Mattias Svanberg is suspended.

Cologne

Lucas Kwasniok's side confidently defeated Freiburg 4-1 at home in their last match. As a result, Cologne has earned points in 5 of their last 6 Bundesliga matches (3 wins, 2 draws). Additionally, the club scored more than three goals in a league match for the first time since the 2022/23 season. The team has six points and is in third place in the standings, trailing Bayern and Eintracht only on goal difference.


  • The club has not won in 10 of their last 11 away Bundesliga matches (6 draws, 4 losses).
  • Both teams have scored in 7 of Cologne's last 9 away league games.
  • Exactly two goals have been scored in 8 of Cologne's last 11 away Bundesliga matches.

Predicted lineup for Cologne (3-4-3)

Marvin Schwäbe – Kristoffer Lund Hansen, Timo Hübers, Rav van den Berg – Sebastian Sebulonsen, Eric Martel, Isak Johannesson, Denis Huseinbasic – Jakub Kamiński, Marius Bülter, Jan Thielmann.

Wolfsburg vs. Cologne: Match Prediction

Wolfsburg has not been impressive at home, particularly in creating chances. In their last eight home Bundesliga matches, the team has only managed to score more than one goal twice, and they failed to find the net in three of those games. However, in 6 of their last 8 home league matches, Wolfsburg has not allowed their opponents to score more than once.


Cologne also struggles with scoring, especially in away games. In their last 19 away Bundesliga matches, the team has only scored more than one goal once, and they failed to score in six of those games. Meanwhile, Cologne has shown they can defend well, conceding a maximum of one goal in 6 of their last 9 away league matches.


I do not expect many goals in this match, so my prediction: Total under 2.5 goals


* Each team's lineup reflects their starting XI from their last match in this tournament.
