Köln form and stats

Home advantage was not enough for Köln in their previous game, as they lost their Bundesliga-match, hosting Hoffenheim, 2-3. Before that one, a nice away victory 6-0 at Altglienicke.

In total they scored 51 and conceded 69 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 2 and lost 11 with 23/42 goals scored/conceded.
