Dortmund welcome Fc Koln in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Dortmund suffered a setback in their charge for the Bundesliga title as they were held to a 2-2 draw by their local rivals, Schalke last weekend. Schalke twice came from behind to equalize. This result meant that Bayern Munich overtook them to occupy the top position, leading them by two points as they won their own match. Having been knocked out of the Champions league 4 days prior, and dropping points against Schalke, Dortmund will be looking to bounce and get back on track against Fc Koln this weekend. They will have a chance to retake the top position with a win over Koln, as Bayern Munich will not be playing till Sunday. I am giving Dortmund a straight win over Fc Koln for these reasons:

Firstly. The frightening form of Dortmund since the turn of the year. Dortmund had won 10 consecutive matches before last weekend. The two points they dropped last weekend were the first points dropped since the turn of the year. And they have won eight of their last nine home games. Their team is well balanced. The synergy between attack and defence is well established. Dortmund are going to make light work of Fc Koln who are placed on the 12th position with 27 points. Fc Koln's form on the other hand has been dismal. They have won only one of their last 6 matches, and have been beaten in 11 of their last 12 away matches. Their away form is in contrast to the good home form of Dortmund. Dortmund are sure to make a light work of Fc Koln.

Secondly. Fc Koln have been in a rot recently. This is greatly aided by the ineptitude of their attack. Koln's attack have failed to score any goal in six of their last seven matches. They suffered a 2-0 loss at home to VFL Bochum last weekend. The interesting thing to note is that Bochum had lost eleven of their last twelve matches before arriving at Koln's home to take them on. This shows the level of rot in the team, especially in attack. As Dortmund will not have much to deal with from Koln's attack, their main focus will be on beating Koln resoundingly.

Despite the fact that Dortmund will be missing some first team players due to injury, I see Dortmund winning this one with ease.

多特蒙德将在本周六的德甲联赛中迎来科隆。上周末，多特蒙德在德甲联赛中遭遇挫折，被当地对手沙尔克2-2逼平。沙尔克队两次后来居上扳平比分。这一结果意味着拜仁慕尼黑超越了他们，占据了榜首的位置，他们在自己的比赛中获胜，领先他们两分。四天前在欧冠联赛中被淘汰，在对阵沙尔克的比赛中丢分，多特蒙德将在本周末对阵科隆的比赛中寻求反弹并回到正轨。他们将有机会在战胜科隆后重新夺回榜首的位置，因为拜仁慕尼黑将在周日之前比赛。我认为多特蒙德会直接战胜科隆，原因如下:

首先。多特蒙德今年以来令人恐惧的表现。多特蒙德在上周末之前已经取得了10连胜。上周末他们下降的两分是今年以来首次下降。他们在过去的9个主场比赛中赢了8场。他们的队伍很平衡。进攻和防守之间的协同作用已经建立起来。多特蒙德将轻松击败积27分排在第12位的科隆。另一方面，科隆的状态一直很糟糕。他们在最近6场比赛中只赢了一场，在最近12场客场比赛中有11场被击败。他们的客场状态与多特蒙德的主场状态形成了鲜明对比。多特蒙德肯定能轻松击败科隆。

其次。最近，科隆足球俱乐部一直在走下坡路。这在很大程度上得益于他们进攻的无能。在过去的7场比赛中，科隆的进攻有6场一球未进。上周末他们在主场0比2负于波鸿。值得注意的是，波鸿在最近12场比赛中输掉了11场，然后才来到科隆主场迎战他们。这显示了球队的衰败程度，尤其是在进攻端。由于多特蒙德不会有太多的应对科隆的进攻，他们的主要重点将是响亮地击败科隆。

尽管多特蒙德将因伤缺席一些一线队球员，但我认为多特蒙德会轻松赢得这场比赛。
