Cologne, Recent FormLosing 2-0 away to Freiburg won't leave the Köln squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league.
Supremo Steffen Baumgart will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 17 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 12 of their 13 league matches this season.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Goalscorer Florian Kainz will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Köln.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormAfter an eye catching 5-0 home win in their last match against Union Berlin, the Bayer Leverkusen players will be in buoyant mood ahead of this fixture.
Whilst manager Xabi Alonso will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 12 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 13 in the same period. They will need to tighten up at the back, having failed to keep a clean sheet in all but 1 of their last 6 away games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Moussa Diaby will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Bayer Leverkusen.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Köln.
We've seen plenty of goals from Leverkusen when they've visited Die Geißböcke in the league, in their last 3 games they've scored a total of 6 goals, which is an average of 2 per game. Playing away from home, Leverkusen have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Köln.
Moussa Diaby will be looking to get on the scoresheet for Leverkusen against Köln in this one, having netted 3 goals in the previous 5 encounters between the two.
