Cologne, Recent FormLast time out for Cologne resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Mainz 05 in a match they really wanted to win. During that encounter they had 61% possession and had 17 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 16 shots on goal.
Manager Timo Schultz will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 5 goals they managed at the other end. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games overall.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at RheinEnergieStadion, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games. They've shown terrible form at RheinEnergieStadion this season, losing 9 of their 15 home league games.
Freiburg, Recent FormThe Freiburg players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Wolfsburg recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they had 51% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Wolfsburg who had 12 attempts and 4 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 9 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 10 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 10 games in a row, and on the road, they are on a run of 2 consecutive clean sheets.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins.
Goalscorer Ritsu Doan will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Freiburg.
Not many saw the outcome of the last meeting between these sides as a surprise, with Freiburg running out winners in a match that ended 2-0.
Cologne have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 3 league meetings with Breisgau-Brasilianer. On each of the last 3 outings between Cologne and Breisgau-Brasilianer in the league, Cologne have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Die Geißböcke have struggled to break down the Freiburg defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings.
Freiburg has won the last 3 games they've played against Cologne in the league.
Cologne manager Timo Schultz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Justin Diehl (Hip), Florian Dietz (Shoulder), Luca Kilian (Cruciate ligament), Dejan Ljubičić (Illness), Leart Paqarada (Illness) and Davie Selke (Broken ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Christian Streich has a number of injury concerns in his Freiburg squad to contend with: Matthias Ginter (Achilles tendon), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Cruciate ligament), Philipp Lienhart (Knee), Merlin Röhl (Hamstring), Roland Sallai (Eye) and Kenneth Schmidt (Abdominal)
