1899 Hoffenheim, Recent Form1899 Hoffenheim were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 2-2 draw against Wolfsburg. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Wolfsburg's tally of 14 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
Despite scoring 9 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 15 goals in that same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 15 games; however, they've scored in 19 of their 20 games this season.
There will be mixed feelings from achtzehn99, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Cologne, Recent FormCologne will be feeling reasonably confident about this match, having secured a 2-0 home win against Eintracht Frankfurt in their last league encounter. In that game they had 41% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Eintracht Frankfurt who had 11 attempts and 4 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 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 failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games, and over the course of the season they have failed to score in 5 of their 10 games on the road.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. So far this season, the bulk of their league games on the road have ended in disappointment, having won just 1 of their first 10 away games.
On an individual basis, Davie Selke will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Cologne's last 6 league games.
1899 Hoffenheim recorded a 1-3 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Goals should be on the cards for Hoffenheim in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Die Geißböcke in their last 14 meetings together. In their last 3 away league games against achtzehn99, Cologne have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
With 2 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Hoffenheim at their home ground The PreZero Arena, Cologne man Florian Kainz will be looking for more of the same in this one.
Hoffenheim manager Pellegrino Matarazzo has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Finn Becker (Knee), Mërgim Berisha (Cruciate ligament), Dennis Geiger (Groin) and Marco John (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Timo Schultz has a number of injury concerns in his Cologne squad to contend with: Faride Alidou (Muscle), Davie Selke (Foot), Mark Uth (Knee) and Luca Waldschmidt (Broken leg)
