1. FC Koln will play hosts to RB Leipzig at RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday in a Bundesliga Matchday 19 clash.
All those records should continue on Saturday, with The Hard Tackle predicting Leipzig to hand a 3-1 defeat to Koln this weekend. Koln last avoided defeat in the first three Bundesliga matches of a calendar year in 2018, last going more games unbeaten after their promotion in 2014 (4). And the former Chelsea striker will be keen on delivering the goods for Leipzig against 1. The hosts have scored with every third shot in 2023, a league-best, while the visitors find the net with every 4.6 shots, putting them third in this ranking (Wolfsburg second with 3.2). Janis Blaswich will continue to deputise for Gulacsi in the goal, with RB Leipzig lining up in a 4-4-2 formation in front of him. Elyes Skhiri will look to shore up things in the middle of the park. The RB Leipzig will be without four first-team players on Saturday. Denis Huseinbasic will likely be the most advanced midfielder for Koln, with the German playmaker looking to carve out the openings in the final third. On the other hand, RB Leipzig made a horrendous start to the season that cost Domenico Tedesco his job. Steffen Baumgart’s charges started the season with a five-game unbeaten run but have managed only one win in their last eight outings, thus falling to 12th on the table. But the Billy Goats have struggled to stitch together a run of positive results in the ongoing campaign. The second half of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season is underway, with games coming thick and fast in Germany.

This season is looking promising for Leipzig, as they are holding the 3rd spot in the general standings, only two points in deficit compared to the leaders from Munich. The hosts took a double lead over Szoboszlai, who was accurate on both attempts in the 25th and the 49th, facing some problems later in the second when they conceded from the penalty, but still appeared sturdy enough in the back to preserve their lead. Koln failed to meet the expectations on their latest travel to Schalke, as they lacked more confidence in the front and took only a point in a goalless encounter.
Even without Christopher Nkunku and Dani Olmo, title-hungry RB Leipzig pose quite the obstacle for Cologne on Saturday (kick-off: 3.30pm CET).
