Football Betting Tips for Today: Hoffenheim v Cologne
It’s off to the German Bundesliga for the final pick of Today’s football betting tips.

Hoffenheim have won their last four home fixtures against this openent scoring at least three goals in each.
Home and away they are unbeaten in 10 Bundesliga matches against FK Koln.
The current overall form of Hoffenheim in the league, however, isn’t spectacular.
They have taken one victory in their last six league fixtures.
The one positive out of that is that the one win did happen on home turf when they beat top-five side Wolfsburg in late September.
Cologne are up in sixth place in the table at the moment. But their successes have been built on home form.
It has been a W0 D2 L1 away record that they have put on the board.
Looking a little closer into things, all three wins that Cologne have recorded this season have been against teams in the bottom five.
There has not been a clean sheet all season by Cologne either.
