Oracle's Vision

Confidence
“

This DFB Pokal tie is a tight, evenly-matched contest with Union Berlin holding a narrow edge through their dominant head-to-head record and superior attack rating. The main risk to that edge is Union's three-match losing streak and leaky defence, which could allow an injury-hit Köln side to capitalise at home.
