B. M'gladbach, Recent FormB. M'gladbach had to make do with a share of the points in their last match, with a 1-1 draw against Mainz 05. They came away from that fixture with 56% of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target. By comparison, Mainz 05 managed 18 attempts on goal, with 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 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 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 24 games overall.
They have shown a solid run of form lately at Borussia-Park, which has seen them go unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home matches while registering 3 victories from the same run.
Cologne, Recent FormWith Bayer Leverkusen sitting a clear 15 places above them in the table, Cologne won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out. They achieved 22% possession in that match and had 6 strikes at goal, with 0 hitting the target, up against Bayer Leverkusen's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 11 of their 12 games on the road.
There will be mixed feelings from Die Geißböcke, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these 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.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Cologne that came out on top with a 3-1 win.
The Die Geißböcke defence has struggled at Borussia-Park, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 10 visits. Die Fohlen have struggled to keep Cologne at bay when these two teams have met at Borussia-Park, during the last 3 times they have hosted Cologne in the league, they have conceded a total of 7 goals.
Cologne man Florian Kainz will be confident about extending his scoring record against Borussia MG, having hit the netting 4 times in the last 5 times they have met in the league.
With only Tomáš Čvančara (Ankle) and Alassane Pléa (Foot) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Gerardo Seoane will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Timo Schultz has a number of injury concerns in his Cologne squad to contend with: Damion Downs (Head), Mark Uth (Knee) and Luca Waldschmidt (Broken leg)
