FC Cologne Form

In their previous match, FC Cologne met Freiburg on Saturday and it finished in a 0:1 defeat at home. Before the last encounter, the team was on an unbeaten streak of four games, recording two draws and two wins. Apparently, playing at their own stadium did not help the teams involved in FC Cologne’s latest 10 clashes, as the hosts won just two and five ended in away wins. Two of their most recent five encounters produced more than 2.5 goals with three seeing both of the teams netting goals. Within this timeframe FC Cologne were successful in keeping one clean sheet and failed to score in two matches. The total goals scored across the team’s last five meetings amounts to 11.
