FC Koln and Borussia Dortmund will meet again in the Bundesliga Week 18 at the RheinEnergieStadion Stadium, Köln Saturday, January 20, 2024. Here’s the preview, h2h stats, predicted line-up, TV channel info, live streaming service providers and how to watch online.
FC Koln, known by the nickname “Sheep” or “Flock of Sheep”, is struggling hard this season. They have shown a significant dip in form, with just two draws and two defeats in their last four Bundesliga matches. Their unsatisfactory performance has made them fall into the relegation zone, a position that no team wants to be in.
With only 11 points from 17 matches, Koln is currently in second bottom position in the standings. Even though they will be playing at home in this match, their lackluster form means they are not expected to pick up any points.
On the other hand, Dortmund, a team from the Ruhr region of Germany, comes into this match full of confidence. They have won seven of their last eleven games against Koln, a record that will surely give them confidence heading into this match.
Apart from that, Dortmund just achieved an impressive 3-0 win over Darmstadt in the previous match. This win will definitely give them a morale boost ahead of the match against Koln. Apart from that, they have also made several improvements in player quality during the January transfer window, which will certainly add to their strength.
Considering the current condition of the two teams, this match will most likely be a tough challenge for Koln. Even though they are playing at home, they will be facing a strong and confident Dortmund team.
Dortmund, with their impressive winning record and recent improvement in player quality, will come into this match hoping to pick up all three points. They are confident that they can beat Koln in this match and continue their positive run in the Bundesliga.
