Viktoria Köln form and stats
Viktoria Köln's results here at Sportpark Höhenberg in the 3. Liga have been very modest with 3 victories, 1 draw and 7 defeats. It's been an uphill battle for Viktoria in their home games for quite some time now, as four matches in a row are lost here. Not since the 1860 München game have they avoided the disappointment of defeat.
The fans are hoping that Viktoria Köln will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the 3. Liga game against Ingolstadt (placed 2nd). A 2-2 draw away before that, with Wehen Wiesbaden the opponent.
The defeat against Ingolstadt was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored four minutes into stoppage time (by C. Ginola Elva).
