Koln Preview – Can Koln survive on final day?
Saturday’s hosts, Koln, won’t get a better chance to grab all three points and bid for Bundesliga survival than in this final match of the season against bottom club, Schalke, who have already been relegated from the German top flight.
Second from bottom Koln only trail fourth from bottom outfit, Arminia Bielefeld by a two-point margin, but all three points against Schalke and a loss for Arminia Bielefeld could see today’s hosts survive.
It’s been a wretched season overall for Koln but the hosts have managed to keep their survival hopes alive by recording recent wins against RB Leipzig and Augsburg, and Koln have also won the previous two meetings on the trot against Schalke as well.
Schalke Preview – Can Schalke spoil Koln’s plans?
Schalke sprung a surprise over Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend in the Bundesliga as they handed the 5th placed side a 4-3 defeat on home turf at their VELTINS-Arena and the visitors will be looking to do the same thing away at Koln this Saturday too.
However, Schalke have picked up just three wins all season in the Bundesliga which have all been registered in their own backyard while results away from home have eluded the visitors all season as Schalke possess a poor away record of 0-4-12 11/51 to date.
Not only do Schalke possess the joint-lowest goalscoring tally on the road this season but they also possess the worst defensive record away from home too, and this has contributed to Schalke losing their last six away matches on the trot.
