Koln Preview – Can Koln go one step better this Sunday?
Koln gained a point in last weekend’s return to action in the Bundesliga when they shared the points in a 2-2 draw at home with Mainz and the hosts will be eyeing off all three points this Sunday when they prepare to welcome third from bottom club, Fortuna Dusseldorf, to their RheinEnergieStadion.
Although they occupy a bottom half position in the German top flight of 11th place, Koln have actually lost just once in their last 5 matches overall in an improved sequence of results which include wins against Hertha Berlin 5-0 away, Schalke 3-0 at home and a 2-1 victory on the road at Paderborn, so they stand a decent chance of getting something from this clash too.
However, Koln have also been very inconsistent so far this season as their home record of 6-2-5 22/18 suggests, but goals have been a regular feature as 9 of Koln’s 13 home matches have produced over 2.5 goals to date.
Dusseldorf Preview – Can Dusseldorf climb to safety?
A 0-0 draw at home with bottom club, Paderborn, wasn’t enough to lift Dusseldorf out of their current third from bottom position in the Bundesliga and the visitors still remain in the relegation play-off spot prior to this tricky upcoming trip to Koln this Sunday.
Nevertheless, Dusseldorf have put together a promising 4-match unbeaten run prior to this encounter having registered a 2-0 win away from home at Freiburg along with 3 draws on the trot, sharing the spoils with Hertha Berlin 3-3 at home, Mainz 1-1 away and the 0-0 draw at home with Paderborn last weekend.
The visitors are also unbeaten in their last 3 away matches too, but having collected just 1 win out of their last 12 matches on their travels, the goals market looks the better option here, especially as 8 of Dusseldorf’s 13 away matches have also seen over 2.5 goals.
