Cologne, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Union Berlin will have left the Cologne squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with 61% of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 7 on target. By comparison, Union Berlin managed 11 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games, and this season overall, they have failed to score in 8 of their 16 games.
They've had a poor run of form at RheinEnergieStadion recently, losing 3 of their last 6 home games and managing only 1 win. It's fair to say that their form in the league has not been good this season, given they have clocked up just 2 wins from 16 matches.
Heidenheim, Recent FormHeidenheim will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-2 win in their home outing against Freiburg. In that game they recorded 52 % of the possession, with 15 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 10 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped. 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've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 6 of their 8 away league games.
On an individual basis, Eren Dinkçi will be looking to cause Cologne some problems having scored 3 goals in Heidenheim's last 6 away games in the league.
It was not a positive ending for Heidenheim last time they met Cologne in the league, with the game ending in a 0-2 defeat.
Cologne manager Steffen Baumgart has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sargis Adamyan (Muscle), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament) and Leart Paqarada (Muscle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Thomas Keller (Cruciate ligament) and Elidon Qenaj (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Frank Schmidt will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
