Bochum, Recent FormBochum will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 2-1 win in their away outing against Darmstadt 98. Their share of possession in that meeting was 41%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target, in contrast to Darmstadt 98, who had 15 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Supremo Thomas Letsch will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 15 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 6 goals they've managed to net. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 9 of their 10 games.
Bochum will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement.
Cologne, Recent FormCologne will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Augsburg, not least because of the valuable point gained. In that game they recorded 59 % of the possession, with 26 attempts on goal, 11 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 18 shots on goal.
Manager Steffen Baumgart will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 15 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 5 goals they managed at the other end. They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 18 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Davie Selke will be looking to cause Bochum some problems having scored 3 goals in Cologne's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Cologne last time they met Bochum in the league, with the game ending in a 0-2 defeat.
Bochum will be confident of finding the net in this one against Die Geißböcke, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 5 encounters between the two sides.
When playing at home in the league, Bochum have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Cologne, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Bochum manager Thomas Letsch has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Christopher Antwi-Adjei (Muscle), Matúš Bero (Medial Collateral Ligament), Michael Esser (Knee), Bernardo Fernandes Silva (Knee), Philipp Hofmann (Head), Lys Mousset (Achilles tendon), Ivan Ordets (Hip), Jordi Osei-Tutu (Hamstring) and Mohammed Tolba (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Steffen Baumgart has a number of injury concerns in his Cologne squad to contend with: Jacob Christensen (Strain), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament), Philipp Pentke (Knee) and Jan Thielmann (Knee)
