Freiburg have seen both teams score in five of their last six Bundesliga away games. Cologne have seen both teams score in six of their last nine Bundesliga fixtures. Cologne have won four of their last five Bundesliga games. Freiburg have lost four of their last seven Bundesliga games.
Cologne will host Freiburg this Sunday in the German Bundesliga. Cologne will hope to bounce back from last weekend’s loss versus a Freiburg side who haven’t been in the best of form in recent weeks.
Cologne’s fixtures have delivered plenty of action at both ends in recent weeks.
Firstly, Cologne have been one of the Bundesliga’s highest-scoring sides in recent weeks. Over the past six games, Cologne have scored a total of 11 Bundesliga goals. Only four teams have scored more goals than Cologne in the last six-game period. Cologne have failed to score in just one of their last nine Bundesliga fixtures.
However, Cologne have also been leaking goals at the other end consistently of late. Cologne have conceded nearly as many goals as they have scored over the past six games. Only four teams have conceded more than Cologne’s total of 10 goals over the last six games.
Cologne have kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 Bundesliga games. Furthermore, Cologne have managed to keep just three clean sheets at home in the Bundesliga this season.
Similarly to Cologne, Freiburg have also been scoring relatively consistently in recent weeks. Freiburg have scored at least one goal in nine of their last 11 Bundesliga fixtures. In addition to that, Freiburg have scored at least one goal in eight of their 10 Bundesliga away games this season.
However, another similarity Freiburg have shared with Cologne of late, is their lack of solidity at the back. Freiburg have kept just one clean sheet in their last eight Bundesliga games. Furthermore, they have also only managed to keep a single clean sheet away from home this season.

Paderborn have lost just three of their last eight Bundesliga games. Wolfsburg have won just two of their last 12 Bundesliga games. Paderborn have conceded under 1.5 goals in four of their last six Bundesliga fixtures. Wolfsburg have conceded at least two goals in each of their last three Bundesliga games.
Paderborn will host Wolfsburg this Sunday in German Bundesliga action. Paderborn will attempt to earn a second straight Bundesliga win for the first time this season in Sunday’s fixture. Sunday’s hosts have enjoyed a positive turn in their form in recent weeks. They will hope to extend this positive run in this weekend’s fixture.
Paderborn have lost just three of their last eight Bundesliga games. Over the most recent eight-game period, Paderborn have earned a total of 11 points. They sit in ninth place in the Bundesliga’s form table for the last eight games. This means that 11 of the 15 points they’ve earned all season have come in the past eight games.
Paderborn have also won two of their last three Bundesliga games. In addition to that, they have lost just one of their last three Bundesliga fixtures. Paderborn’s win last week saw them end their extended run at the bottom of the Bundesliga table. We feel that Paderborn’s recent form may give them a boost in confidence going into Sunday’s game.
In contrast to Paderborn’s upturn in form in recent weeks, Wolfsburg have hit something of a dip in form of late. Over the same eight-game period in which Paderborn have earned 11 points, Wolfsburg have earned just seven points. Only Werder Bremen and Fortuna Dusseldorf have earned fewer points than them in this time.
Wolfsburg have won just two of their last 12 Bundesliga games. They have lost a total of seven games in that period. This includes each of their last three Bundesliga games.
In addition to that, Wolfsburg’s away form hasn’t been particularly impressive this season. They have won just three of their nine Bundesliga away games this season. Furthermore, they have failed to win five of their last six Bundesliga away fixtures. They have also lost each of their last three Bundesliga games.
