Week 22 brings us a match on Feb 25th, where Köln hosts Wolfsburg at Rheinenergiestadion in a clash of the Bundesliga.

Gil Dias struck first for Stuttgart in the 9th minute, then Borna Sosa added another in the 59th minute In the end, Köln was frustrated by Stuttgart’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Stuttgart ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while wolfsburg is fresh off their 0-3 loss against RB Leipzig. Emil Forsberg scored the first goal for RB Leipzig in the 14th minute, then Konrad Laimer added another in the 85th minute on a feed from Christopher Nkunku In the end, Wolfsburg was frustrated by RB Leipzig’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. RB Leipzig ended the match with the shutout victory. Wolfsburg should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches.
