Freiburg, Recent FormFreiburg will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Wolfsburg. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 4 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Wolfsburg who had 10 attempts and 2 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Christian Streich will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
There will be mixed feelings from Breisgau-Brasilianer, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Cologne, Recent FormCologne were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 0-0 draw against Mainz 05. They achieved 54% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Mainz 05's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 12 of their 14 games overall.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games. Their performance in the league this season has been disappoinitng to date, winning just 2 of their 14 league games.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Davie Selke has given the travelling Cologne support something to shout about on the road.
It was one to forget for Cologne last time they met Freiburg in the league, falling to a 0-1 defeat.
The Die Geißböcke defence has struggled at Europa-Park Stadion, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 visits. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, Die Geißböcke have been unable to break through Freiburg's defence and find the back of the net.
Freiburg has won the last 2 games they've played against Cologne in the league.
Freiburg manager Christian Streich has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Christian Günter (Broken arm), Yannik Keitel (Groin), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Cruciate ligament), Maximilian Philipp (Shoulder), Max Rosenfelder (Tendon), Roland Sallai (Eye), Kenneth Schmidt (Abdominal) and Noah Weißhaupt (Illness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steffen Baumgart has a number of injury concerns in his Cologne squad to contend with: Sargis Adamyan (Muscle), Faride Alidou (Muscle), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament) and Luca Kilian (Hamstring)
