The visiting RB Leipzig side should be favourites in this visit to Köln, as the away team holds a 38 point advantage from their 29 league games this season.
- Köln is in the worst form (0-2-4)
- RB Leipzig have the fewest conceded goals (23) in Bundesliga
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Köln and RB Leipzig.
Köln are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Leipzig are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
Köln form and stats
Köln's results here at RheinEnergieStadion in the Bundesliga have been very modest with 1 victory, 5 draws and 8 defeats. Köln has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager F. Funkel and the players.
Köln lost their last game at Bayer Leverkusen (placed 5th) after a 0-3 scoreline. Ahead of that match, Köln lost 2-3 at home to Mainz 05.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Köln as they are travelling to their away game against Augsburg in the Bundesliga. That match is three days after this one.
Köln are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 14 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Köln defense is not exactly impregnable. 26 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

A great winning streak in away games for Leipzig as they have managed to win five matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Mainz 05 have they travelled home without three points.
There were no winners in Leipzig's previous match, a Bundesliga home game that ended 0-0 vs Hoffenheim (placed 12th). Before that one, a nice away victory 4-1 at Werder Bremen.
