Cologne, Recent FormCologne will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Augsburg, not least because of the valuable point gained. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Augsburg's tally of 25 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
They have found the net 6 times in their last 6 matches, but it hasn't earned them much points-wise due to a leaky defence that's shipped 13 goals in that same period. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 24 of their 27 games overall.
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.
Bochum, Recent FormWith a 2-2 draw in their last match against Darmstadt 98, Bochum had to settle for a share of the points. They came away from that fixture with a 57% share of the possession and clocked up 21 attempts on goal with 7 on target, in comparison to Darmstadt 98, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
Manager Thomas Letsch will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 17 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 23 of their 27 games.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 7 games.
On an individual basis, Philipp Hofmann will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Bochum's last 6 league games.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
Die Unabsteigbaren will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with Cologne. Die Geißböcke have struggled to keep Bochum at bay when these two teams have met at RheinEnergieStadion, during the last 3 times they have hosted Bochum in the league, they have conceded a total of 6 goals.
Cologne have failed to manage a victory in their last 4 encounters in the league against Bochum.
Cologne manager Timo Schultz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Justin Diehl (Hip), Florian Dietz (Shoulder), Luca Kilian (Cruciate ligament), Leart Paqarada (Buttocks) and Mark Uth (Medial Collateral Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Letsch has a number of injury concerns in his Bochum squad to contend with: Michael Esser (Knee), Bernardo Fernandes Silva (Knee), Moritz-Broni Kwarteng (Medial Collateral Ligament), Tim Oermann (Hamstring), Danilo Soares (Muscle), Niclas Thiede (Broken finger) and Mohammed Tolba (Cruciate ligament)
