Bundesliga Action at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer – Greuther Fürth face FC Köln

Next Saturday at 3:30pm GMT, on matchday 24 of the Bundesliga, we will see Greuther Fürth play Cologne at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer.

It’s a clash of eighteenth vs seventh, as Greuther Fürth host Cologne at Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer.

Struggling Greuther Fürth, welcome fancied FC Köln this Saturday

Having lost to Bayern Munich in their last game, Stefan Leitl’s men must reset and try to gain a positive result in this match.

Also, the relegation zone is not where Greuther Fürth want to be at the end of the season, but that is where they are heading, unless they can get out of their losing habit. Greuther Fürth have lost 14 of their last 20 matches in the Bundesliga. Their position is eighteenth in the League and they have 13 points, that is, 3W, 16L and 4D having won three meetings, drawn four matches, and lost 16 games.

When Greuther Fürth host Cologne, they will do so on the back of three wins, three draws, and five defeats on their own ground.

Greuther Fürth will have 16 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Stefan Leitl could be missing up to four of their players through injury or illness for the game on Saturday.

With the Bundesliga season well into its stride, FC Köln have managed to gain 35 points

It was three points secured for Cologne in their last fixture, beating Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0 at the Rhein Energie Stadion.

Also, Cologne keep finding ways to win, having secured five victories in their last eight matches is astonishing this season. With 35 points, they currently sit seventh in the League. The breakdown for the team’s record is 9 wins, 6 losses and 8 draws having won nine meetings, drawn eight games, and lost six matches.

Cologne’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Greuther Fürth. In the 11 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won two matches, drawn five games, and lost four fixtures.

Winning this fixture will see FC Köln on 38 points.

Good Attacking Performance

Cologne will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (35). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Anthony Modeste (3), Timo Hubers (1), and Tim Lemperle (1). Teams that leak goals on a consistent basis, don’t tend to win anything, such is the situation with Cologne so far, having conceded 37 goals in their last matches so far.
