Bundesliga 2 Prediction: Köln vs Jahn Regensburg (04.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 4th, 2025 at 01:30 WIB, Köln hosts Jahn Regensburg at the RheinEnergieStadion in Matchday 32 of the 2024/2025 2. Bundesliga.

This match pits the league’s top team against the bottom side: Köln leads Hamburg by one point at the summit, while Regensburg is effectively relegated, clinging only to mathematical survival hopes.

Here’s a detailed look at team form, head-to-head record, and betting tips.

Current Form – Köln in 2. Bundesliga 2025

Despite topping the table, Gerhard Struber’s Köln has stumbled in recent weeks:

• 8 points dropped in their last 4 games
• 0–1 home loss to Hertha Berlin (explained by Hertha’s strong form)
• 0–1 away defeat to Hannover, a team that had lost 3 in a row before
  

Köln’s attack isn’t prolific for a league leader:

• Ranks 12th in the league for goals scored
  

Their strength lies more in defensive solidity and narrow wins than high-scoring dominance.

Current Form – Regensburg in 2. Bundesliga 2025

Regensburg’s campaign has been a struggle from day one:

• Under Joe Enochs, they suffered a heavy 3–8 loss to Nuremberg that led to his dismissal in October 2024
• Replacement coach Andreas Patz hasn’t reversed their fortunes
• Regensburg has the worst defensive record in the league
  

Key away stats:

• Concede an average of 3.2 goals per away game
• Score just 0.47 goals per away game
  

Their defense collapses frequently, especially away from home.

Head-to-Head Stats – Köln vs Regensburg

• 3 meetings since 2021:
  • Both German Cup ties ended 2–2 draws (Regensburg advanced on penalties)
  • This season: Köln won 1–0 away
    

While Köln has the edge, they haven’t produced big wins in recent encounters.
