Cologne, Recent FormKöln manager Steffen Baumgart will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Schalke 04. They came away from that fixture with 47% of the possession and clocked up 6 attempts on goal with 0 on target. By comparison, Schalke 04 managed 17 attempts on goal, with 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They are showing great consistency at RheinEnergieStadion in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 home games. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 16 of their 18 league matches this season.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
Steffen Tigges will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at RheinEnergieStadion, having notched up 5 goals for Köln in their last 6 league matches at home.
RB Leipzig, Recent FormRB Leipzig enter this game with a comfortable 2-1 home win over Stuttgart last time out in the league. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Stuttgart's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
Marco Rose will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 17 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 6 goals during those same matches. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 11 games.
Unbeaten in their last 5 away league games, including 3 consecutive wins is a good spell of form on the road.
Goalscorer Christopher Nkunku will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for RB Leipzig.
Last time they met both teams got on the scoresheet, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
