RB Leipzig, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 3-1 away win over Darmstadt 98 in their last league game, RB Leipzig will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 42% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Darmstadt 98 who had 18 attempts and 4 on target.
Their boss Marco Rose will be rightly happy with his team of late, having seen them score 12 goals in their last 6 matches while only letting 3 over their own goal line. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games whilst also keeping a clean sheet in 4 of those games.
There will be mixed feelings from Die Roten Bullen, although undefeated in their last 8 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for RB Leipzig, Loïs Openda will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Cologne, Recent FormCologne will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 3-1 win in their home outing against Borussia Monchengladbach. In that game they recorded 60 % of the possession, with 22 attempts on goal, 8 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 5 shots on goal.
Having lost 12 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Steffen Baumgart will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 6 goals they scored. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 16 games overall.
It's been a bad run of form of late for them, having racked up 4 losses and only a single victory in their last 6 league matches, so they'll need to turn things around if they want to start climbing the table. They've had a poor start to their season losing 6 of 8 league games.
On an individual basis, Davie Selke will be looking to cause RB Leipzig some problems having scored 4 goals in Cologne's last 6 away games in the league.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
Playing away from home, Cologne have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against RB Leipzig.
The last 2 league meetings between these teams has ended with a share of the spoils but Cologne will be slighlty more concerned that they have not won this fixture in 4 games.
RB Leipzig player Timo Werner will be feeling confident about recording goals against Cologne ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
With only El Bitshiabu (Knee) and Willi Orbán (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Marco Rose will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Steffen Baumgart has a number of injury concerns in his Cologne squad to contend with: Jacob Christensen (Strain), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament), Philipp Pentke (Leg) and Jan Thielmann (Knee)
