Werder Bremen, Recent FormThe Werder Bremen squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 4-2 away defeat against Heidenheim, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Heidenheim, who had 18 shots on goal with 5 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 1 clean sheet in those games.
They've had a terrible run of form at Weserstadion recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Cologne, Recent FormCologne won't feel too deflated by the 3-1 home defeat to 1899 Hoffenheim, given that their opponents sit a full 14 places above them in the league table. In that game they had 56% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to 1899 Hoffenheim who had 13 attempts and 5 on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 12 games overall.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Davie Selke will be hoping to create problems for Werder Bremen in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Cologne.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
From their past 9 away matches in the league against Werder, Die Geißböcke have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going.
This fixture has produced a draw on the last 2 occasions that these 2 sides have met at Weserstadion in the league, but Werder will take some small comfort in being unbeaten in their last 6 meetings there.
There is only really one injury concern for the Werder manager Ole Werner ahead of this clash, with Jiří Pavlenka (Back) missing out, which gives Werner a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Steffen Baumgart has a number of injury concerns in his Cologne squad to contend with: Florian Dietz (Knee), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament), Eric Martel (Achilles tendon), Mathias Olesen (Muscle), Jan Thielmann (Knee) and Mark Uth (Hip)
