It is already a bit grotesque that the 1. FC Köln has dismissed coach Markus beginning last weekend. The former Kiel coach was well on the way to achieving the goal of direct promotion to the Bundesliga, and yet the 44-year-old native of Cologne was relieved of his duties three games to go. The bad cabin climate and four winless matches were finally the fatal disaster. In addition, the managers were forced by various contractual arrangements to dissolve the contract as quickly as possible in order to avert greater financial damage from the club. On Monday evening, instead of Markus, the former boss of the second team, Andre Pawlak, will sit on the bench of “Effzeh”. The interim coach can create something unique, because a fixed ascent on the debut would certainly be a curious novelty.

Furth vs Cologne Football Betting Tips of the Day

Because of the patch of the SC Paderborn on Friday evening in Bielefeld, the goats in the away game at SpVgg Greuther Fürth a victory enough to make the return to the upper house and mathematically perfect. Should not win Union Berlin Darmstadt on Sunday, the leader would already meet a draw. The starting position is accordingly positive and all parties hope for an atmospheric return trip to the Rhineland. In duel Fürth vs Cologne, the odds of bookmakers imply a fairly clear favorite role in favor of the guests, which is primarily due to the difference in quality. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the cloverleaf in front of home scenery can be an unpleasant opponent. All in all, between Fürth and Cologne – according to our prediction – a hint on the “Effzeh” seems more lucrative.

Fürth – Statistics & Current Form

For SpVgg Greuther Fürth the remaining three match days are all about the notorious Golden Pineapple. Well at least almost, because purely mathematically threatens the green-whites even the relegation place. With six points ahead of FC Ingolstadt (16th), a mere point win in the form of a draw would be enough to make the “rescue party” rise on Monday evening. Whether in view of this minimum goal reached, however, will give rise to right mood, is open to question, because the bottom line, the former Bundesliga club has a disappointing season behind him. Despite great ambitions, possibly in the promotion fight or at least in the upper half of the table have a say, cheered the franc in so far 31 games only nine wins (eleven draws, eleven defeats). In addition, a scant 34 goals scored – together with Magdeburg and Duisburg – the worst value in league comparison. This is also one of the reasons why the relegation is still threatening, because with regard to the goal difference there is no worse team than the cloverleaf (-16) with the exception of the tail light from the Wedau.

To put on Monday evening in the home game against 1. FC Cologne finally a hook behind the sobering season, builds the team of coach Stefan Leitl especially on the decent balance before the home crowd. In the Sportpark am Ronhof, the Franks presented themselves significantly more stable than in foreign countries.

«The change of coach makes the preparation a bit more difficult. Nevertheless, I am convinced that we are well prepared for the game. The Cologne are absolutely right in first place. » – Stefan Leitl

Only two defeats in 15 home games (five wins, eight draws), more goals scored and fewer conceded goals support this thesis. However, that does not change the fact that the match association just managed to win one of their six recent matches in front of their own fans. In this respect, we would be careful at the end of the 32nd matchday to venture between Fürth and Cologne a prediction in favor of the home side.

Incidentally, at the operational level, the decision-makers already seem to be sure that the Fürth will also be represented in the next league in the coming year. On Sunday, Marco Meyerhoefer has already presented a new signing for the next season. The full-back comes from Waldhof Mannheim and hopes to gain experience in the German lower house. He could have played third league next year at his current club. Wittek, Mohr and Ernst are still missing due to injury. Even more serious, however, are the losses of the two attackers Fabian Reese and David Keita-Ruel, who have to serve respectively.

Cologne – Statistics & Current Form

What has to happen in the mind of Markus Anfang these days? Although the native of Cologne deliberately renounced to follow against his former employer, still raises the dismissal in the previous week, some questions. Did the players speak against their coach? Was it really the small sporting crisis in recent weeks that was the decisive factor or did those responsible not trust their own coach to be able to establish the “Effzeh” in the Bundesliga? In the end, all of these factors probably played a role, so sporting director Armin Veh found himself forced to act. But it is also true that Markus Anfang has brought Cologne into an excellent starting position and fixing the ascent is only a matter of time. To computationally seal the immediate return to the Beletage, on Monday evening is an away win in Franconia. In the match Fürth vs. Cologne are offered for a given tip odds of 1.47 in the top.

By the way, at the end of the 32nd match day Andre Pawlak will take his place on the bench. The 48-year-old graduate sports teacher, who worked until a few years ago at a high school and was only allowed to take his leave to the youth department of Cologne, recently looked after the second team in the Regionalliga and should now as a freshly baked football teacher bring to an end what his predecessor started (watch wordplay!). It will be important that Pawlak returns the actors self-confidence and solves the mental blockages in the mind. Most recently, the Rhinelander were four times in a row without a win and collected on the past two weekends, even two bitter bankruptcies in Dresden (0: 3) and at home against Darmstadt (1: 2). Now that the alibi of the critically critic coach has died out, we are firmly convinced that the team will show a different face. The existing quality is beyond all doubt, which is why a similar course as in the first leg, when the goats won 4-0 against the SpVgg, does not seem completely out of thin air. All in all, the Domstädter are still by far the best away team of the second division (nine wins, two draws, four defeats), which also scored exactly two goals per guest performance. Seven of these nine successes in the foreign were won with at least two goals advantage. Personnel, the interim coach can almost draw on the full. Only Christian Clemens will not be used this season.
