Match Preview
On 29 November 2025 Bremen host FC Cologne in a pivotal Bundesliga clash that could shape the final‑stage push for both sides.
Bremen enter the game unbeaten in their last five, registering three wins and two draws while scoring seven and conceding only four goals (1.4 GF and 0.8 GA per match).
Cologne, by contrast, have struggled away from home, managing just one win and one draw from five outings, scoring seven but leaking ten goals (1.4 GF, 2.0 GA).
The recent head‑to‑head favours Bremen, who have won two of the five meetings and boast a superior goal difference (11‑5).
Given Bremen’s solid defensive record and the fact that they play at home, the numbers suggest they hold an edge, yet Cologne’s occasional flashes of attacking firepower keep the fixture unpredictable.
The outcome will likely influence Bremen’s bid for a European spot and Cologne’s fight to avoid slipping further down the table.
Both clubs will also be keen to secure momentum ahead of their congested December programme.

FC Cologne:
FC Cologne’s recent away performances have been disappointing, with only one win and one draw from their last five trips.
Their latest outing on 8 November saw them travel to M’gladbach and fall 1‑3; Cologne’s solitary goal arrived in the 90th minute via L.
Waldschmidt, a penalty that offered little consolation.
A week earlier, on 2 November, Cologne visited Hamburg and were beaten 1‑4; despite the match report omitting the scorer, the visitors managed just one goal, again late in the game.
The previous away test on 25 October against Dortmund ended in a 0‑1 defeat, with M.
Beier’s stoppage‑time header deciding the result for the hosts.
Cologne’s only away win came on 18 October at home against Augsburg, a 1‑1 draw in which they failed to secure three points; the match featured a penalty conversion by F.
Rieder in the 54th minute but they were pegged back by S.
El Mala.
The most recent fixture on 29 October was a home loss to Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokál, where Cologne managed a solitary goal by R.
Ache before conceding four.
Across these five matches Cologne have scored seven goals but have allowed ten, reflecting an average of 1.4 GF per game and a worrying 2.0 GA per game.
The data highlight a pattern of late‑stage goals, both scored and conceded, and an inability to protect a lead, especially away from the RheinEnergie‑Stadion.
Key contributors such as R.
Ache and L.
Waldschmidt have provided the bulk of the scoring, while defensive lapses after the 60th minute have repeatedly cost points.

Head-to-Head Record
The historical rivalry between Bremen and FC Cologne spans five Bundesliga meetings, delivering a mixed record that slightly favours the hosts.
Overall, Bremen have secured two victories, Cologne one, and the sides have drawn twice, leaving the head‑to‑head balance at 2‑1‑2.
In terms of goals, Bremen have been prolific, netting 11 times compared with Cologne’s five, resulting in a +6 goal difference.
The most recent encounter on 16 February 2024 saw Cologne travel to Bremen and claim a 1‑0 win thanks to a 70th‑minute strike by J.
Njinmah, marking Cologne’s latest success in the fixture.
Prior to that, on 23 September 2023, Bremen rebounded with a 2‑1 home victory; the match opened with a Cologne goal by D.
Selke at the 31st minute, but Bremen responded through R.
Borre and then a decisive goal by J.
Njinmah in the 67th to turn the tide.
The two draws – 1‑1 on 20 May 2023 and 1‑1 on 7 March 2021 – highlight the tight nature of the contest, each side sharing a goal and failing to find a winner.
The most lopsided result came on 21 January 2023 when Bremen demolished Cologne 7‑1 at home, with a flurry of six Bremen goals before the 77th minute, including a hat‑trick by S.
Tigges and contributions from L.
Maina, E.
Skhiri and D.
Huseinbasic.
This dominant display reinforced Bremen’s attacking potency against Cologne.
Across the five meetings, the timing of goals has varied: Cologne’s recent win arrived late, while Bremen’s big win featured early dominance.
The pattern suggests Bremen generally control matches at home, yet Cologne’s occasional away success, particularly the 2024 victory, indicates they can exploit defensive lapses.
Consequently, the upcoming 29 November clash pits a Bremen side that has never lost at home this season against a Cologne side eager to replicate their 2024 away triumph, making the historical data a compelling backdrop for a tightly contested encounter.

Statistical Insights
Statistical patterns from the last ten matches underline a clear divergence between Bremen’s solidity and Cologne’s volatility.
Bremen have averaged 1.4 goals per game while conceding only 0.8, thanks largely to three clean sheets in five fixtures and a defensive record that has kept opponents to four goals total.
Their goal distribution shows a propensity for late winners, with decisive strikes in the 72nd minute (M.
Grull), 83rd (J.
Stage) and 90th (S.
Mbangula Tshifunda).
Conversely, Cologne’s defensive frailties are evident in an average of two goals conceded per match and ten goals against in five games, including a 3‑1 loss at M’gladbach where they allowed three first‑half goals.
Offensively, both teams share an identical average of 1.4 goals per match, but Cologne’s scoring is often isolated to the final minutes – L.
Waldschmidt’s 90th‑minute penalty being a case in point – suggesting a reliance on late‑game bursts rather than sustained pressure.
Head‑to‑head data reinforces this: Bremen have scored 11 times versus Cologne’s five, and the only recent Cologne victory (2024‑02‑16) came via a single 70th‑minute goal.
The combination of Bremen’s strong home defence, their ability to find winners after the 70th minute, and Cologne’s leaky back line points to a likely low‑scoring, tightly contested match where a single late goal could decide the outcome.

Upcoming Fixtures
After the 29 November showdown, both clubs face a busy stretch of fixtures that could shape their season trajectories.
Bremen’s next test arrives on 23 November when they travel to Leipzig, a strong side that will test their defensive resilience.
The return to the Weserstadion on 29 November – the match under analysis – is followed by an away trip to Hamburg on 7 December, where they will need to maintain momentum to stay in contention for a European place.
For Cologne, the immediate priority is a home clash against Frankfurt on 22 November, a game that offers a chance to rebuild confidence before the Bremen encounter.
The 29 November fixture in Bremen is then succeeded by a home game against their own rivals on 6 December versus St.
Pauli, where a positive result could solidify their bid to climb out of the lower mid‑table.
The sequencing means that a win for Bremen would boost their confidence heading into the Leipzig test, while a Cologne victory could provide vital points before the challenging St.
Pauli meeting, making the outcome of the Bremen‑Cologne match a pivotal momentum driver for both sides.

Match Prediction
Based on the data, Bremen enter the 29 November meeting with a stronger recent record, especially at home, where they have not lost in five games and concede less than one goal per match.
Cologne, by contrast, have struggled away, managing only one point from their last four away fixtures and allowing an average of two goals per game.
The head‑to‑head record also leans toward Bremen, who have a superior goal difference (11‑5) and have won the most recent home encounter.
While Cologne demonstrated the ability to score late, their defence has been porous, particularly after the 60th minute.
Considering these trends, the numbers suggest a narrow Bremen advantage.
A realistic prediction is a 2‑1 victory for Bremen, with the winning goal likely coming after the 70th minute – perhaps from J.
Stage or M.
Grull, who have proven decisive in recent home wins.
Cologne may find the net through a penalty or a late effort, but their overall defensive frailties make conceding a second goal probable.
The match is expected to be tightly contested, but Bremen’s home solidity should see them edge it.

Betting Insights
Betting markets should reflect Bremen’s defensive sturdiness and Cologne’s propensity to concede, making the under‑2.5 goals line an attractive option.
Bremen have kept clean sheets in three of their last five games and have allowed only four goals overall, while Cologne have given up ten in the same period; the combined average of 2.4 goals per match suggests a low‑scoring encounter.
Both sides have shown a tendency for late goals – Bremen’s decisive strikes often come after the 70th minute and Cologne’s only recent goal arrived in the 90th – so a BTTS (both teams to score) bet carries moderate risk, with an estimated probability around 30 %.
An Asian handicap of Bremen ‑0.5 at odds of roughly 1.80 appears reasonable given their unbeaten home form and head‑to‑head advantage.
For the correct score, a 2‑1 Bremen win aligns with the statistical trends and offers value at higher odds (≈6.00).
Overall, the safest play is under 2.5 goals combined with a Bremen ‑0.5 handicap, while BTTS and exact‑score bets should be treated as higher‑risk, higher‑reward options.
If bettors prefer the over/under market, the over 3.5 goals line is likely overpriced given the defensive records, while the over 1.5 goals market offers decent value as both teams have scored in recent games.
A double‑chance bet on Bremen or draw at odds around 1.45 could also be a prudent choice, reflecting the possibility of a tightly fought stalemate if Cologne tighten up defensively.
