Comparing the two clubs that will meet, it is clear that Bremen will show something beter than Koln. Focusing on Klon, last season they managed to finish in 11th place in the standings, even in the previous 2 saesons they were able to compete and managed to occupy 7th place at the end of the competition. This season I see them being the same as the 2020/2021 season, yes they have a bad perfrmance and that means they have to struggle to survive in the Bundesliga and must first get through the play-off round.
This match will be very important for Koln, because winning will maintain their hopes of being able to keep their distance from the clubs above them. whereas if they lose, it will make them even worse and it is not impossible that they will have to be in the bottom 2 positions if they continue to lose. They have to work hard to achieve positive results in this mtch.
Köln are 5 points behind place 15, where Union Berlin currently are . This means that Köln must win at least 2 games and Union Berlin must lose twice. Union Berlin will play against Hoffenheim. I do not even know if the coach of Union Berlin is still suspended. But either way it will not be easy against Hoffenheim. Although they have been waiting for a win for a long time, they are not to be underestimated. But Hoffenheim have to win again. Otherwise the discussion about sacking the coach will come up again.
Well, Union Berlin also has a tough match against Hoffenheim, they will most likely lose, although they might also get points. Therefore, this is an opportunity for Koln, at least Koln must first secure victory, regardless of whether Union Berlin can win or not, that is another matter, what is clear is that Koln must achieve good results in this match.
5 points is not too far away, especially as Union Berlin itself has a performance that is still not that good. There is definitely pressure, it is something that cannot be avoided, but they must be able to turn that pressure into great motivation for them. The league is still running, as long as it is running, opportunities are still open. I say this not only to Koln, but to all the clubs that are competing, including Koln.
