Form Guide
FC Koln
DDDWD
Köln, back after one year's absence from the Bundesliga are competing in German football's top flight once more with the Geißböcke faithful filling the RheinEnergieStadion. Their quest for survival has them in an impressive 12th place after picking up an almost similar point tally of 31 from 30 rounds of fixtures. In the Rheinisches Derby, Cologne historically raise their performance levels regardless of league position and they arrive this fixture without a defeat in five straight games.
Bayer Leverkusen
