Dortmund Preview – Can Dortmund continue last week’s performance?
Borussia Dortmund returned to the Bundesliga action following the winter break with a 5-3 win away from home at Augsburg which ended a two-match sequence without a win in the German top flight having drawn 3-3 with RB Leipzig and falling to a 2-1 defeat away from home at Hoffenheim.
The hosts have lost just 1 of their last 7 matches overall in the Bundesliga and they’ll be in confident mood as they return to home turf for this upcoming clash against Cologne as Dortmund are unbeaten at home so far this season, with a home record of 5-3-0 26/9.
The bigger picture shows that Dortmund have suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 25 matches at home in the Bundesliga, a sequence which consists of 19 wins which is a pretty reliable record indeed.
Victory over Cologne is therefore expected but the margin of this possible win may not be so straightforward as Dortmund have won by 3+goals in just 1 of the last 10 meetings against Cologne.
Cologne Preview – Can Cologne win five on the trot?
Although they occupy a position in the bottom half of the German top flight in a lowly 13th place, Friday night’s visitors, Cologne, will also be in confident mood ahead of this clash against high-flying Borussia Dortmund as they’ve won their last 4 league matches on the trot.
Recent wins against Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Werder Bremen and Wolfsburg have helped lift Cologne away from the immediate danger of a relegation dogfight and they now hold a more comfortable 5-point cushion above the bottom two as a result.
Cologne’s recent revival has been engineered by the likes of midfielder Hector (3 goals) and forward Cordoba (6 goals) with the latter scoring these 6 goals in his last 8 appearances, and having secured their first away win for some time last time out at Eintracht Frankfurt, the visitors will be up for this clash.
