Viktoria Cologne
WWLLWL
Viktoria Cologne will be hoping to bounce back here following a 2-0 3rd Liga loss in their previous game against Osnabruck.
The only player to score from Viktoria Cologne was Lars Dietz (24' Own goal). Marcus Müller (32') scored for Osnabruck.
It’s not been often in recent times that Viktoria Cologne have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Viktoria Cologne have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 7 goals along the way. That kind of trend isn’t assured to be carried forward here, though.
