Cologne, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against Union Berlin will be viewed as a positive outcome for Köln and a valuable point into the bargain. Their share of possession in that meeting was 49%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Union Berlin, who had 8 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Having conceded 5 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 6 points. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 5 of their last 6 league games. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and Steffen Baumgart will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 8 their 17 home matches.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Bochum, Recent FormThe 2-0 home defeat to Schalke 04 will not have sat easily with the Bochum squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they recorded 63 % of the possession, with 7 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
They have bagged 7 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 17 times in that period. The art of scoring goals has eluded them, having failed to find the back of the net for the past 4 games in a row. Away from home they have not had their troubles to seek, with at least 1 goal conceded in 11 of their last 12 away league matches this season, making points hard to come by on the road.
Bochum will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 4 league games in a row.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Köln have scored in each of their last 10 games at home in the league against Die Unabsteigbaren.
It has been a share of the points the last 2 times these sides have met in the league, with the game ending in a draw on both occasions; that said, Köln may be feeling slightly more positive, having built up a run of 3 matches undefeated against their opponents.
Köln manager Steffen Baumgart has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sebastian Andersson (Knee), Florian Dietz (Cruciate ligament), Luca Kilian (Muscle), Dimitris Limnios (Cruciate ligament), Mathias Olesen (Illness), Kristian Pedersen (Muscle), Kingsley Schindler (Cold), Jan Thielmann (Muscle) and Mark Uth (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Letsch has a number of injury concerns in his Bochum squad to contend with: Cristian Gamboa (Knee), Gerrit Holtmann (Meniscus) and Simon Zoller (Thigh)
