Borussia Dortmund, Recent FormEdin Terzić will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 21 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded5 goals during those same matches. Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 51 games in a row, but they have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 games at Signal Iduna Park.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 15 games in a row.
Donyell Malen will be feeling confident about adding his name to the scoresheet once more at Signal Iduna Park, having notched up 6 goals for Borussia Dortmund in their last 6 league matches at home.
Cologne, Recent FormWhile they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They have had a good run of form away from home recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 3 wins along the way.
Davie Selke will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Köln.
Köln will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Borussia Dortmund, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 6-1 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for Dortmund in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Die Geißböcke in their last 10 meetings together. In their last 3 away league games against Die Borussen, Köln have conceded a total of 9 goals and that's an average of 3 per game.
Köln has a poor track record in the league when they visit Dortmund, losing in their last 2 games.
Dortmund player Marco Reus will be feeling confident about recording goals against Köln ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
With no real injury worries, Dortmund manager Edin Terzić will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Steffen Baumgart has a number of injury concerns in his Köln squad to contend with: Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament), Jan Thielmann (Knee), Steffen Tigges (Shoulder) and Mark Uth (Groin)
