Koln vs Hamburger Prediction and Betting Tips | November 2nd 2025

Koln will face Hamburger at the RheinEnergieStadion on Sunday as the two newly-promoted sides face off in another round of the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign. The home side have endured a difficult return to action after the international break and have dropped down to eighth place in the table with 11 points.

The Billy Goats suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in their last league outing and had looked set to earn a hard-fought point on the road before their opponents netted the winner in the 96th minute. They then turned their attention to DFB Pokal action during the week, hosting Bayern Munich and losing 4-1.

Hamburger, meanwhile, lost 1-0 at home to Wolfsburg last time out in the Bundesliga and perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing, including a squandered first-half penalty from Ransford Yeboah Königsdörffer. However, they returned to winning ways in the domestic cup on Tuesday as they beat Heidenheim 1-0.

The visitors sit 13th in the table with eight points from eight matches and will be keen to add to that tally come the weekend.

Koln vs Hamburger Prediction

Die Geißböcke are on a run of back-to-back defeats and have won just one of their last seven games. However, they remain slight favorites heading into the weekend clash and will hope to capitalize on their home advantage.

Die Rothosen will hope to take inspiration from their midweek cup win after losing their previous two games. They are, however, without an away league win this season and could lose this one.

Prediction: Koln 2-1 Hamburger
