Match preview
Köln host Union Berlin in the Bundesliga on 20 December 2025. Köln sit 14th on 31 points and Union Berlin are 13th on 35. Köln have won 1 of their last 5 (WLDDL), while Union Berlin have won 2 of 5 (DWLLW). In their last 2 meetings, Köln won 0, Union Berlin won 0 and 2 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.
How this is worked out
Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.
Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
