The market makes Hoffenheim clear favourites at 2.20 despite playing away, and their recent form backs this up: four wins in their last six with only 6 goals conceded (avg 1.0 per game) against Köln's leaky rearguard conceding 2.0 per game. Hoffenheim also arrive with two extra rest days. This is Matchday 1 so all season stats are zero, meaning form data is the primary signal alongside the market price.
