Season ticket holders at RheinEnergieStadion haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Köln languishing in the 17th position so far. The guesting Augsburg will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
It's no vacation for neither Köln nor Augsburg as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Köln form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Köln have only managed 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses from their games here at RheinEnergieStadion.
The points were shared in Köln's previous game, also at home. Visiting Augsburg (placed 12th) travelled back with a point after a 1-1 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Köln lost 1-4 at RB Leipzig's place.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Köln have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 1 time, drawn 3 and lost 1.
The Köln fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 6 in 6 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Köln defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Augsburg form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Augsburg so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-3 (win-draw-lose).
It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Köln (placed 17th) in their previous outing. The Bundesliga match ended in a draw 1-1. Before that, Augsburg secured a home win against Hertha BSC with the score 4-0.
We have checked recent matches where Augsburg have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were W1-D3-L3.
Augsburg find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 7 goals from 7 away fixtures in the league. The Augsburg manager M. Schmidt has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Köln - Augsburg 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 0 - 5 - 5 (Köln wins - draws - Augsburg wins). As for goals, 4 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 6 had two or less.Top Goalscorers
