TSG Hoffenheim vs FC Cologne Preview

TSG Hoffenheim vs FC Cologne

Competition – German Bundesliga

Stadium – PreZero Arena

Date: 15th October 2021

Kick-off time – 19:30 GMT

The Bundesliga resumes this Friday with Hoffenheim welcoming FC Koln to the PreZero Arena for their eighth match of the league season.

The hosts are having an inconsistent season having picked up two wins, two draws and three losses in their opening seven games this season.

Sebastian Hoeneß will be frustrated with the way his side has not been able to build on excellent results and will hope that his refreshed squad will pick up a win against Koln.

A cause for concern for the hosts will be their form at home so far which has seen them record one win, one draw and a loss in three games.

However, their record against Koln will be a massive confidence booster for them as they have won four straight home league H2Hs, winning 16-1 on aggregate during that run.

Meanwhile, Koln, unlike their hosts are having a good season so far.

They go into this tie seated in sixth place and with 12 points (W3, D3, L1). This run is their best start after seven league games since 2016/17 and has them in a good place ahead of their meeting with Hoffenheim against whom they will hope to end a ten-game winless run in Bundesliga H2Hs (D3, L7).

Steffen Baumgart, for all the good things he has done since his appointment, has failed to win a Bundesliga game on the road this term (D2, L1) but with a squad ready to run themselves into the ground for the manager, he will be confident of picking up all three points in this game.
