Köln hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 29 points and a 17th position in the Bundesliga table. Visiting Freiburg holds 9th place with 41 pts.
- Köln have the fewest clean sheets (3) in Bundesliga
Freiburg could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Bundesliga game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Hertha BSC. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Köln are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Freiburg are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
