Wolfsburg, Recent FormIt's fair to say Wolfsburg will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Heidenheim, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Heidenheim's tally of 12 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 5 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 18 games.
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.
On an individual basis, Jonas Wind will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 9 goals in Wolfsburg's 18 league games this season.
Cologne, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 4-0 home mauling at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, the Cologne team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team. In that game they had 39% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Borussia Dortmund who had 11 attempts and 7 on target.
Having conceded 9 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 5 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 16 of their 18 games played.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
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.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Wolfsburg that came out on top with a 1-2 win.
Wolfsburg will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Die Geißböcke having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 10 meetings. Die Wölfe have struggled to keep Cologne at bay when these two teams have met at The Volkswagen Arena, during the last 3 times they have hosted Cologne in the league, they have conceded a total of 7 goals.
In the league, Cologne has a good track record when they travel to Wolfsburg, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
Wolfsburg player Lukas Nmecha will be relishing this upcoming match against Cologne, given he has clocked up 3 goals in the past 3 league encounters between the two sides at The Volkswagen Arena.
Wolfsburg manager Niko Kovač has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Lukas Nmecha (Knee surgery), Kevin Paredes (Hip) and Patrick Wimmer (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: Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament), Davie Selke (Foot), Mark Uth (Knee) and Luca Waldschmidt (Broken leg)
