Cologne

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Hertha Berlin in Bundesliga 2 competition, Cologne will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Cologne managed 61% possession and 15 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. On the other side, Hertha BSC got 17 attempts on goal with 5 on target. Fabian Reese (46') scored for Hertha Berlin.

The stats tell the story, and Cologne have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, with opponents netting 5 goals in total. At the back, Cologne have clearly had some problems. We will have to see whether or not that trend can be sustained into this next match.

Looking at their past form shows that Cologne:

• haven't been defeated by Greuther Furth in games played away from home for the previous 6 league games. An impressive run.
• are unbeaten in their last 2 away league matches.

🔮 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Greuther Furth will really need to work well to breach the defence of this Cologne lineup who should just have the edge.

We therefore see a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 win for Cologne when the referee blows for full-time.

We’re expecting it to be that close.
