Cologne chases the ascent: Regensburg in the crisis in front of the duel!

The duel between SSV Jahn Regensburg and 1st FC Köln on December 8, 2024 promises a lot of tension, especially in view of the latest form of both teams. Regensburg, currently with just eight points in the last place in the 2nd Bundesliga, suffers from enormous difficulties and has not scored a single goal in the last four games. The defensive of the Jahn shows the greatest susceptibility with 33 goals, while the offensive with only five goals achieved is the weakest in the league. The team recently had to accept a clear 0: 3 defeat in the DFB Cup against VfB Stuttgart, which only reinforced the problems of the Regensburg, as Sportwetten.bild reported.

In contrast, the 1. FC Köln is on the up and currently occupies the 7th place in the 2nd Bundesliga with 22 points. After six unbeaten competitive games and a narrow 2-1 win against Hertha BSC in the DFB Cup, Cologne is pure optimism. Her offensive has already scored 27 goals this season and is a clear favorite compared to Regensburg. In addition, Cologne has the goal of playing in the promotion race, which is underlined by its current form and the superiority in the squad strength, as SSV-Jahn.de reported.

competition under pressure

The upcoming game is under pressure for Regensburg, which urgently needs points to get out of the crisis. As the bottom of the table, the team has massive performance problems, both on the defensive and on the offensive. The strategy will be crucial to insist against one of the contenders on the ascent like Cologne. The bookmakers place Cologne with a winning rate of 1.45 as a clear favorite, while a victory for Regensburg is rated 6.25. This illustrates the forecasts that Cologne probably dominates Jahn and is on the way to return to the Bundesliga. In this context, Cologne will also aim to consolidate its starting position for the rest of the season.
