FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach meet at a moment when the two are in very different moods. The hosts have just drawn in a friendly, and the visitors have just drawn as well, but looking deeper into the league, the two teams have clearly taken different paths. FC Köln have collected 4 points from 4 matches, the attack is serviceable but the defense is still leaky, while Borussia Mönchengladbach have no points at all in the league, losing all four matches, already conceding 16 goals, a figure that says the defense has a chronic problem. However, the visitors' form in their last two friendlies has clearly improved, both winning 3-0 and drawing 1-1. This game is likely to be open and end-to-end from the start, because both sides have problems to fix on different ends. The hosts want to take three points at home, but the visitors, who have nothing to lose, may open up and attack. The first half may still be even, but the second half is likely to have more goals than the first, because both teams tend to concede late in games.
