After their home loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the season opener, Borussia Dortmund was able to record 6 consecutive win, and climb up to the second spot, only 3 points away from the leader Mainz 05. Today, they would face the team of FC Koln who are currently taking the 16 spot with 5 points out of 7 games.
Dortmund has won the last 3 away games against, Stuttgart, Schalke and St.Pauli, while Koln has won only 1 of the last 3 home games, one against St.Pauli.
In the past 10 years, these two teams have met 6 times, where Koln has won once, tied twice and lost 3 times. In fact if we look back even further we would see that Koln have only won one of their last 12 games against Dortmund (three draws, eight defeats).
Dortmund has also won the last 6 out of 7 games against Koln, and has a single draw. The team is in a really great shape this year and is expected to do well today.
Here are few more interesting facts:
* Dortmund are the team against which Koln have failed to score the most often in the Bundesliga – 21 times.
* Koln haven’t lost any of their last 10 home games on Friday evenings (six wins, four draws), Dortmund have only lost one of their last 12 games on that day of the week (six wins, five draws).
* Borussia have conceded the fewest goals in the league (five). In their last six Bundesliga games BVB have not conceded more than one goal.
While there are no clear indications that Borussia will win this game easily, the probabilities that they would do great today and go for the 3 points is pretty big.
