Cologne, Recent FormIt's fair to say Cologne will have been relatively pleased with a point from their last encounter with Eintracht Frankfurt, a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. In that game they had 35% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Eintracht Frankfurt who had 13 attempts and 3 on target.
Steffen Baumgart will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 9 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games.
This can't be seen as a good run of form at their home stadium, with 3 defeats and only 1 win from their last 6 league matches there.
Davie Selke will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Cologne.
1899 Hoffenheim, Recent Form1899 Hoffenheim 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 Wolfsburg. Their share of possession in that meeting was 39%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target. Wolfsburg had 13 shots on goal with 7 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but they have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 10 games overall.
It's been a mixed run of away form for Hoffenheim recently, with 2 wins and 2 defeats in their last 6 games on the road.
Andrej Kramarić is the man of the moment at 1899 Hoffenheim right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
1899 Hoffenheim suffered the disappointment of a 1-3 defeat at the hands of Cologne the last time they met in the league.
achtzehn99 will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 13 encounters with Cologne.
In the league, Hoffenheim has had a solid run on the road against Cologne, being unbeaten in their last 7 meetings at RheinEnergieStadion.
With 3 goals notched up from the last 3 league meetings against Cologne at their home ground RheinEnergieStadion, Hoffenheim man Andrej Kramarić will be looking for more of the same in this one.
Cologne manager Steffen Baumgart has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Florian Dietz (Knee), Noah Katterbach (Cruciate ligament), Davie Selke (Hamstring), Jan Thielmann (Knee) and Mark Uth (Hip) are all currently out of contention for this game.
