FC Cologne aim to continue their good start to the new season as they welcome Freiburg at the RheinEnergieStadion on Friday.

Cologne have been great in this new season, banging in goals every match day. They are currently on a 4 games unbeaten run, winning 3 games and drawn 1. They kicked off the season with a 7-0 win over BFC Preussen in DFB Pokal, before a 2-0 win against Darmstadt in Bundesliga. Last week, Cologne played out a 0-0 draw against Wolfsburg after an impressive display. They’ll hope to maintain this great form in this fixture.

Meanwhile, Freiburg were among the new comers in the Bundesliga this season, they finished 1st in Germany’s 2nd tier league last season. They kicked of the new season with a 0-4 away against Babelsberg in the DFB Pokal. However, their Bundesliga season started with a loss, as they to 2-1 beating away to Hertha BSC. Furthermore, Freiburg returned to winning ways last week, beating Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 at home. They will be aiming to overcome FC Cologne with a similar performance this Friday.
