1. FC Köln vs Hamburger SV Prediction 2 August 2024

Cologne spent previous campaign in the elite division, where they eventually took seventeenth place and were forced to relegate. It should be noted that since then the Billy Goats took part in seven friendly friendlies, having won there six confident victories with one draw 3:3 with Victoria Cologne.

For the sixth year in a row once formidable Hamburg cannot rise to the first Bundesliga, constantly either dropping out in the playoffs, or, as in the season 2023/24, taking the fourth position with a minimal gap from the leaders. The Dinosaurs started the training camp with four consecutive victories, but then there were misfires with Cardiff (0:3) and Aris (0:0).

Both teams are traditionally focused on attack, but at the same time, their defense is not all right. We are sure that Cologne and Hamburg will confirm the trend of high-scoring opening matches in the 2. Bundesliga and score at least three times.
