Fortuna Köln and Stuttgart II meet in 3. Liga with just a single point separating them, as the hosts fell 0-2 in their last match while the visitors edged a tense 3-2 win. The two sides therefore walk onto the pitch feeling very differently. Fortuna Köln have collected 10 points from 9 matches, scoring 8 and conceding 10. They are a team whose attack does not produce many goals, but they do not let opponents score easily either. Stuttgart II, meanwhile, have 11 points, scoring 16 and conceding 18. Their attack has more about it, but the defence is clearly leaky, especially in the first half away from home, where they concede an average of 1.13 goals per match. This game should open up early, because both teams have weaknesses in different areas. Stuttgart II will dominate possession more and create more chances, but their leaky defence gives the hosts room to play. If Fortuna Köln score first, the game should flow toward the hosts, who can sit back, counter, and close it out more comfortably. But if the visitors take the lead first, the hosts will have to open up and trade blows, which could just as easily swing the game toward the visitors.
