The last meeting between the two teams ended in a rout, with FC Köln thrashing FC Union Berlin 5-0 in October last year, but before that the meetings were usually close, including a 2-2 draw at FC Union Berlin and a 0-1 win at FC Köln. This time both come into the league with points close together, separated by just two points, and neither has won in a row. FC Union Berlin were just thrashed in the cup, but in the league they have not scored much and their defence has been leaky, conceding 18 goals in 7 matches. FC Köln also just won 5-0 in the cup, but in the league they too have not won in a row. Overall their attack is not sharp, scoring 8 goals in 7 matches. This game is likely to be open from the start, because both teams have defences that struggle to handle the other's attacking moves, and both need three points to move up the table. If FC Köln can attack first, the game should become more open, while FC Union Berlin are likely to wait for counter-attacks from pace on the wings.
