Werder Bremen, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Werder Bremen players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of RB Leipzig. In that game they had 38% possession and managed 6 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to RB Leipzig who had 20 attempts and 7 on target.
Their boss Ole Werner is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 11 games in a row, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games.
Werder Bremen will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form at Weserstadion, they've lost their last 4 league games in a row there and not had a home win in 4 games.
Goalscorer Marvin Ducksch will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 4 goals in his last 6 league matches for Werder Bremen.
Cologne, Recent FormIn their previous league fixture, Köln managed a remarkable 5-2 home win against Hertha BSC. In that game they recorded 63 % of the possession, with 31 attempts on goal, 16 on target. Their opponents found the target on 3 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Steffen Baumgart will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 7 goals conceded in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Davie Selke will be hoping to create problems for Werder Bremen in this one, having scored 4 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Köln.
Werder Bremen will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Köln, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 7-1 defeat.
In the past 8 away matches at Werder in the league, Die Geißböcke have consistently found the net, scoring at least 1 goal in each of those encounters. In their last 3 away league games against Die Werderaner, Köln have conceded a total of 10 goals and that's an average of 3.33 per game.
In the league, Werder has had a good run at home against Köln, being unbeaten in their last 5 meetings at Weserstadion.
Werder manager Ole Werner has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Felix Agu (Tendon), Niklas Füllkrug (Calf), Jiří Pavlenka (Back), Amos Pieper (Ankle), Dikeni-Rafid Salifou (Ankle) and Miloš Veljković (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steffen Baumgart has a number of injury concerns in his Köln squad to contend with: Florian Dietz (Cruciate ligament), Davie Selke (Head) and Mark Uth (Groin)
