Match preview

Union Berlin host 1. FC Köln on 1 November 2026 at 17:30 in a Bundesliga fixture between two sides fighting for consistency. Köln finished 14th last season with 32 points and have stumbled through the early campaign with mixed results. Union Berlin avoided relegation last spring to finish 11th on 39 points but started this season poorly, collecting just one point in their first four matches before finding form with two draws in October.

Form and H2H

Union Berlin's last ten matches show three wins, three draws, and four losses at home, averaging 1.09 goals for and 2.50 against. Köln arrive with four wins, three draws, and three losses in their last ten away games, scoring 1.70 per match and conceding 1.39. The head-to-head record is split evenly: Köln won 4-0 and 2-1 in 2013 and 2014, Union Berlin took 2-0 victories in 2019 and 2020, and they drew 1-1 in 2018 and 2-0 in 2020. Both teams have shown they can score in this fixture.

Best Bet

Both teams to score offers genuine value here. Union Berlin concede 2.50 goals per home match over ten games, while Köln average 1.70 goals away and have scored in most recent outings. Union Berlin's attack has found rhythm with consecutive draws, and Köln's defensive record on the road (1.39 conceded per game) suggests they will leak chances. The profit trend data supports backing goals in this matchup.
