Cologne Preview – Can Cologne take advantage?
A miserable sequence of six matches without a win in the German top flight has resulted in Cologne dropping down the Bundesliga standings to 12th place but the hosts have a great opportunity to put an end to their slump when they play host to fellow strugglers, Union Berlin, at their RheinEnergieStadion this Saturday.
Three defeats and three draws which include losses to Borussia Moenchengladbach and Hoffenheim away from home along with a loss at home to high-flying RB Leipzig have been in stark contrast to Cologne’s results earlier in the season which saw the hosts pick up eight wins from their previous 10 matches.
Cologne’s home record has also taken a bit of a dent in recent times as they’ve been held to draws by Mainz and Fortuna Dusseldorf along with the aforementioned loss to Leipzig but an overall record of 6-3-6 26/24 includes just two defeats from their last 10 matches at home.
Union Berlin Preview – Can Union Berlin avoid a fourth defeat on the road?
Union Berlin sit two league positions and three points below Saturday’s hosts, Cologne, ahead of this upcoming clash and while this isn’t exactly a relegation battle as such, both teams will be keen to add another three points to their tally to remain at arms length from the relegation zone below them.
Union Berlin will be particularly eager to halt their slide down the Bundesliga table having endured a seven-match sequence without a win in the German top flight which consists of four defeats and three draws; losses to Freiburg, Bayern Munich, crosstown rivals Hertha Berlin (4-0) and a heavy 4-1 loss on the road at Borussia Moenchengladbach will have done little for Union Berlin’s confidence overall.
In addition, Union Berlin have lost their last three away matches on the trot amidst an overall poor away record which stands at 3-2-10 15/33 and perhaps more worrying is the fact that the visitors have shipped a total of 11 goals in these last three defeats too.
