Bayer 04 Leverkusen VS FC Köln

This Bundesliga match will be played at 1:30 a.m. Beijing time on December 14, 2025, with Bayer Leverkusen playing at home against fellow rival Cologne. The focus of the analysis will be on the Under 3.25 total goals market option, which is priced at 0.88 (under) and 0.86 (over) respectively.

Bayer Leverkusen has been in solid form recently, with a relatively balanced offensive and defensive end, but its offensive firepower has occasionally fluctuated in the face of dense defense. Cologne's recent record has been relatively struggling, with low offensive efficiency, but the defensive organization is acceptable, often seeking counter-attacking opportunities with solid defense. Both teams' recent style of play has tended to be tempo control rather than open and closed attacks.

Judging from the historical head-to-head record, the Rhein derby between Bayer Leverkusen and Cologne has always been fierce, but the number of goals has not always been flooded. In the past many meetings, the total number of goals scored less than 3 goals has accounted for a significant proportion, reflecting the tactical caution and confrontational intensity of derby.

are for the Under 3.25 Goals market, with the agency giving odds of 0.88 (under ) and 0.86 (over over). This odds combination shows that the agency has given a slight confidence tilt (lower payout) in the direction of the total number of goals scored less than 3.25 goals, which is somewhat consistent with the recent tactical styles of the two teams and the historical characteristics of the derby.

Taken together, the total number of goals predicted for this match may be less. The reasons are as follows:1. The nature of the derby may make the early stages of the game more stalemate, and both sides will have scruples in attacking investment; 2. Cologne is likely to adopt a steady counterattack strategy away, with the primary goal of limiting Bayer Leverkusen's attack; 3. Bayer Leverkusen has the upper hand in strength, but it may take time to find a breakthrough when facing an iron barrel formation. Therefore, the likelihood of under 3.25 total goals is relatively high.
