Cologne, Recent FormKöln will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 away win against 1899 Hoffenheim. In that game they had 45% possession and managed 13 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to 1899 Hoffenheim who had 12 attempts and 4 on target.
Manager Steffen Baumgart will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 11 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have been misfiring up front at home recently, having been unable to produce a goal in 4 of their last 6 matches. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
They've drawn their last 2 league games at RheinEnergieStadion, but their search for a home win in the league extends even further having gone 4 consecutive games without grabbing all 3 points.
Freiburg, Recent FormIn their last match Freiburg enforced their superiority over Schalke 04 with a 4-0 home win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 45%, while racking up 25 shots along the way, 12 of which were on target. Schalke 04 had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
It's fair to say that manager Christian Streich will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 5 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They have not been performing well at all defensively, not delivering a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches.
They have had a good run of form recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Freiburg, Michael Gregoritsch will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
It was not a positive ending for Köln last time they met Freiburg in the league, with the game ending in a 2-0 defeat.
