Cologne, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Cologne players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Werder Bremen. Their share of possession in that meeting was 52%, while racking up 14 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Werder Bremen, who had 17 shots on goal with 6 on target.
Having scored 5 goals and conceded 11 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 games.
They've had a terrible run of form at RheinEnergieStadion recently and having lost 4 of their last 6 home games managing just 1 win.
Stuttgart, Recent FormStuttgart head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 3-1 home win against Darmstadt 98 in their last league encounter. They achieved 58% possession in that match and had 18 strikes at goal, with 11 hitting the target, up against Darmstadt 98's tally of 3 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
Manager Sebastian Hoeneß will be delighted with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 18 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 8 goals conceded in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 13 games in a row, but they've conceded a goal in each of their last 17 games away from home.
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.
Goalscorer Serhou Guirassy will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 10 goals in his last 6 league matches for Stuttgart.
After a good 3-0 win for Stuttgart in this pair's last league encounter, Cologne will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at RheinEnergieStadion, Die Schwaben have been unable to break through the Cologne defence and find the back of the net. In their past 5 meetings, Stuttgart's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Die Geißböcke will have to take their chances when they come.
In the league, Cologne have not won any of their last 3 meetings with Stuttgart.
Cologne manager Steffen Baumgart has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Florian Dietz (Knee), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament), Eric Martel (Achilles tendon), Mathias Olesen (Muscle), Jan Thielmann (Knee) and Mark Uth (Hip) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Sebastian Hoeneß has a number of injury concerns in his Stuttgart squad to contend with: Thomas Kastanaras (Muscle), Nikolas Nartey (Knee) and Josha Vagnoman (Ankle)
