1. FC Köln vs Real Sociedad: Match Preview
Both sides arrive in this friendly with attacking momentum but defensive frailties. 1. FC Köln have scored 12 goals in their last three friendlies, including an 8-0 rout of Bergisch Gladbach, but have also conceded in four straight, with their last home outing ending 2-2 against Hertha BSC. Real Sociedad’s summer has been more mixed, with two wins and two losses in their last five, but they have found the net in four of those games and put four past Aston Villa away.
The statistical matchup is shaped by high scoring rates and leaky back lines. Köln’s last five have averaged 5.2 total goals (2.8 for, 2.4 against), and Sociedad’s have averaged 3.0 (1.6 for, 1.4 against). Both teams have seen BTTS in four of their last five, and neither has managed more than one clean sheet in that span. First-half goals are common, with Köln splitting their 14 goals almost evenly between halves and Sociedad netting four in each half across their last five.
Given these rates, the model expects an open contest with both teams likely to score. The most probable outcomes cluster around 2-2 and 2-1 either way, with over 2.5 goals hitting in two-thirds of simulations. Defensive uncertainty on both sides and the friendly context suggest a match where attack outweighs structure.
