HOF Vs KOL Dream11 Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Two regressing defences go at loggerheads in a must win tie for either side

On an unstoppable downward spiral in the league, when Hoffenheim and Koln square off against each other today, this tie comes bearing with it colossal ramifications for either side. Adjacent to each other in the league, the three points today would help instil some kind of semblance for the winners today.

For the home side Hoffenheim, even a draw would not serve them judiciously today. The 1-1 draw to Paderborn the last time around now leaves the side bereft of a win in its last five encounters, horrendous and appalling form which has seen them plummet all the way down into 9th spot in the points tally.

With their defence shipping goals left, right and centre at the moment, Koln will be quietly confident of pummelling Hoffenheim today and with them moving above their competitors today. The side managed to draw 2-2 with Dusseldorf the last time around, a result which sees them currently unbeaten in two straight matches.

Probable Winner

While both the defences are abject and apathy filled, its Hoffenheim’s callous attack which will undo them today. With Koln showing ther attacking flair off late, the visitors should manage to rake up goals at regular intervals and rise to the occasion to pull off a win today.

HOF Vs KOL Dream11 Goal-Keeper

Oliver Baumann, Hoffenheim’s shot stopper will be making his way into our side as the goal-keeper. He’s the only reason for the side managing to scoot their way through to a couple of draws in their bygone ties with his vigour and valour seeing him emerge unfazed and parry away shots with disdain.

HOF Vs KOL Dream11 Defenders

With both the defences making for abysmal outfits, it was only rightful of us to opt for the bare minimum of three defenders for this encounter. And all our selections will be of players who come bearing with them an attacking penchant, names who can pull off either a goal or assist for us today.

The discourse sees us make Koln’s CB, Sebastiaan Bornauw the first name to be inducted in our backline. With the five assists this season, he’s more than amply showed what he’s capable of in the attacking travails to make him an ideal pick for the encounter.

The guile filled Noah Katterbach comes in to accompany him while the home side on the other hand see us move in for leftback Pavel owing to his four assists this season.

HOF Vs KOL Dream11 Midfielders

Florian Kainz has utilised his ball handling abilities to immense and judicious effect this term. The Koln midfielder has managed to provide his counterparts with 6 assists, transitioning the ball from defence to attack seamlessly for his outfit.

Ellyes Skhiri is his partner from the side while from the opposition we are moving in with an entire trio of picks. With the four and three assists respectively, the diminutive partnership of Robert Skov and Sebastian Rudy made for instant selection for us with Christoph Baumgartner wrapping up our trivalent from the side.

HOF Vs KOL Dream11 Strikers

Up against a side which has shipped in the 47 goals till now, Koln’s Jhon Cordoba is going to love his time out in the middle today. The team’s top scorer with 11 goals, the player has piled on a string o luscious displays, ones which made him a must have pick for the day.

The 5 goals and 4 assists made Mark Uth an equally pivotal pick from the side to see us opt for a duo from the visiting team in this facet.

Captain And Vice-Captain

His 11 goals see us make Jhon our side’s captain while Uth is the vice-captain.

Dream 11 Team

Baumann, Kaderabek, Katterbach, Bornauw, Kainz, Rudy, Skhiri, Skov, Christoph, Cordoba, Uth
