We said: FC Koln 1-2 Borussia Dortmund

Koln have a real opportunity to pounce on Dortmund's mounting injury crisis, with the visitors likely to rely on the return of Malen and Adeyemi to inject fresh life into them. While it would not be a surprise to see the hosts claim a positive result, we can envisage BVB snatching a tight victory and remain at least three points in front of Bayern in the table ahead of next weekend's meeting at Westfalenstadion.
