In this Bundesliga fixture, FC Köln host Schalke 04, with both sides yet to win in the league for two games in a row and needing three points to move away from the bottom of the table. FC Köln have just lost 0-1 at home in the league, but before that they won 2-1 at home, while Schalke 04 have lost two league games in a row, their attack still blunt, scoring just 4 goals from 6 league games, but their defence is not that bad either, conceding 7 from the same number of games. This game is likely to be a midfield battle, with both teams having similar possession, and whoever slips up first could be punished, but with the even nature of the game and Schalke 04's defence still holding up, it should end with the teams not far apart.
