Augsburg, Recent FormAugsburg will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 away win against Wolfsburg. During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 15 shots on goal.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 14 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Jess Thorup will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 5 goals in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 12 of their 13 played at The WWK Arena this season.

Cologne, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 5-1 home mauling at the hands of RB Leipzig, the Cologne team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team. Their share of possession in that meeting was 33%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. RB Leipzig had 22 shots on goal with 8 on target.
They have bagged 6 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 13 times in that period. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 12 of their 13 games on the road.
Having drawn their last 4 league games away from home and having not won any of their last 6, Die Geißböcke will be keen to grab all 3 points in this fixture.
