Cologne, Recent FormKöln boss Steffen Baumgart will need to instil positive feelings within his team after they endured a 5-0 away mauling from Mainz 05. They came away from that fixture with 44% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. By comparison, Mainz 05 managed 16 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Baumgart\ will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 16 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 9 goals scored. Finding the net regularly has been an issue for them in their home stadium, with zero goals scored in 3 of their last 6 matches. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 10 of their 11 league matches this season.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Florian Kainz will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Köln.
1899 Hoffenheim, Recent FormThe 1899 Hoffenheim squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 2-0 home defeat against Bayern München, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Bayern München's tally of 20 efforts at goal, 10 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that André Breitenreiter will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 9 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 6 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games.
They're experiencing a bit of an unwelcome spell of form away from home, having lost 3 of their last 6 on the road and picking up only 2 wins.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Robert Skov has given the travelling 1899 Hoffenheim support something to shout about on the road.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for 1899 Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim will be confident of finding the net in this one against Köln, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 11 encounters between the two sides. On each of the last 3 outings between Köln and Hoffenheim in the league, Köln have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Hoffenheim have an impressive record of scoring goals against Die Geißböcke, with a tally of 15 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
Hoffenheim have dominated this fixture in the past, winning the last 8 times in a row when they have played Köln in the league.
In front of goal, Andrej Kramarić has scored 3 goals in the previous 3 league matches for Hoffenheim against Köln at RheinEnergieStadion and will be confident of getting more of the same this time out.
