Wolfsburg have so far accrued two points in this season of the Bundesliga

Wolfsburg will be buoyant, following a 2-0 away win against RB Leipzig in their last fixture.

They currently stand fifteenth in the League, with two points for a total of 0 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws having drawn two fixtures and lost two fixtures.

A win in this fixture, would take Wolfsburg’s points from 2 to 5, so far this season.

Wolfsburg are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Niko Kovac is concerned that Saturday’s fixture could see him without four of his key players.

FC Köln arrive at this game, having secured six points so far this season

Cologne have been inconsistent in their previous two games, drawing 0-0 at Stuttgart and 1-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt, so a win in this fixture must be the focus.

Also, with three draws in three meetings, Cologne need to develop a strategy for getting over the line in games. With an eighth position in the league and 1 wins, 0 losses and 3 draws, they currently have six points in the League having won one game and drawn three games.

Cologne will travel to Wolfsburg with a win record on the road that is quite unremarkable, with two draws.

Winning this fixture will see FC Köln on 9 points.
