FC Koln form

Showing inconsistent form, FC Koln lost two of their past three matches, going down 2-0 against Partizan Belgrade, before beating Augsburg 3-2. The joy was short-lived, as Mainz 05 proved too strong in a 5-0 defeat. In their last six Bundesliga home matches, FC Koln have three wins, while they've drawn one and lost two. They scored nine and conceded seven goals.

Aiming for a season well away from the relegation-line, FC Koln are continually collecting enough points to look comfortable.

An optimal season could perhaps see Hoffenheim qualifying for Europe but so far, they look well underway to a nice mid-table finish.
