Hamburger SV Form

In their last three games, Hamburger SV lost 1-2 against RB Leipzig, got defeated 0-1 by Bayer Leverkusen before winning 1-2 against Wolfsburg. Hamburger SV claimed just a single measly home win from a possible six in the Bundesliga, which also saw them drawing three and losing two matches, in which they scored seven and conceded eight goals.

FC Koln Form

FC Koln recorded a single draw in their previous three games, and they claimed it in a 2-2 match against Hoffenheim. Then Augsburg proved too strong in a 2-0 defeat, just like Borussia Dortmund who won 1-2. FC Koln are winless in their last six away games in the Bundesliga, in which they drew two and lost four. They conceded 12 goals while scoring five themselves.
