Cologne, Recent FormCologne will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Bayern Munich, given the latter currently sit 15 places further up the league table than they do. In that game they had 31% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Bayern Munich who had 16 attempts and 6 on target.
Having lost 14 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Timo Schultz 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 7 goals they scored. 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 26 of their 29 games overall.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at RheinEnergieStadion, having lost 4 of their last 6 home games. They've shown terrible form at RheinEnergieStadion this season, losing 8 of their 14 home league games.
Darmstadt 98, Recent FormDarmstadt 98 won't feel too deflated by the 1-0 home defeat to Freiburg, given that their opponents sit a full 10 places above them in the league table. Their share of possession in that meeting was 53%, while racking up 17 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Freiburg had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have bagged 4 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 20 times in that period. 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 27 of their 29 games played.
The misery continues for Darmstadt, having not won any of their last 22 games.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-1 win for Cologne.
Cologne will be confident of finding the net in this one against Die Lilien, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 6 encounters between the two sides. Die Geißböcke have an impressive record of scoring goals against Darmstadt, with a tally of 13 goals against them in their previous 5 encounters.
Cologne manager Timo Schultz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Justin Diehl (Hip), Florian Dietz (Shoulder), Denis Huseinbašić (Muscle), Luca Kilian (Cruciate ligament), Davie Selke (Broken ankle) and Mark Uth (Medial Collateral Ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht with Julian Justvan (Groin), Braydon Manu (Muscle), Marvin Mehlem (Broken leg), Fabian Nürnberger (Ankle), Tim Skarke (Back) and Fabio Torsiello (Muscle) all unavailable for selection, and Fraser Hornby (Ankle) out for the rest of the season.
