Only a single draw prevents FC Koln from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short in a 4-1 defeat against VfB Stuttgart, before drawing 1-1 with Werder Bremen. They came up empty-handed once again when Hamburger SV ran out as 2-1 winners. FC Koln claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Bundesliga. They also drew two and lost two, scored 12 goals and conceded 12.

Next up, Freiburg won 5-0, before losing 3-4 against Mainz 05. Borussia Moenchengladbach are winless in their last six away games in the Bundesliga, in which they drew two and lost four.
