Dortmund, Germany – As Bundesliga dey hot up, Borussia Dortmund go face newly-promoted FC Köln for Westfalenstadion this Saturday evening. Right now, Köln dey chop ground as dem dey sit for sixth place, just three points behind Dortmund. Na serious business wey dey ground!
After some wahala match against RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich where dem drop points, BVB don shake body back after dem win Copenhagen for Champions League on Tuesday. Na now dem get chance to increase dem points for Bundesliga, but make dem no forget say Köln no be small fry o. Dem don dey terrorize opposition since dem return to top flight with some big wins over Freiburg and Hoffenheim. Even Stuttgart no fit stand dem!
Köln get their 19-year-old star boy, Said El Mala, wey don score three goals and provide one assist this season. Dis boy na like fresh pepper wey dey cause serious wahala for defense. If him start against Dortmund, na serious gbege dem go face o. El Mala don nearly steal the whole show since dem come back to Bundesliga!
BVB manager, Niko Kovač, don talk say him go rotate him starting lineup against Köln. Speculation dey everywhere about who go start. One thing wey plenty people dey talk be say Fabio Silva fit finally get him first start for BVB, especially as Guirassy dey nursing injury. Silva don dey show promise, so if Kovač fit give am chance, we go see serious action!
For the back, Niklas Süle fit start instead of Waldemar Anton, abi na my eyes dey deceive me? As for Karim Adeyemi, him go surely offload Maximilian Beier after that last match wey Beier no too impress. And Carney Chukwuemeka for Julian Brandt? Na gamble, but if Chukwuemeka fit fit, e go sabi!
Based on the stats, Dortmund get 63.1% chance to win this match. Na serious probability wey dey make sense. But hey, football no be mathematics and Köln go come like spear and hammer. If dem get targeting right, na BVB go carry blame if dem fall hand this Saturday evening.
So, who you think go prevail for this thrilling match? Na BVB we go follow or Köln go surprise us? We dey ready to see some magic happen for Westfalenstadion!
