Viktoria Köln and FC Köln meet in a friendly with no bearing on any table, but the condition of the two teams is clearly different. The hosts just thrashed their opponents in their own league 3-0, while the visitors just lost in the Bundesliga 1-2. Viktoria Köln are on a winning run in their own league, scoring heavily throughout that spell, while FC Köln have not won in a while and just conceded 4 goals in a single match earlier this month. The visitors' defence looks like the spot the hosts can exploit. After kick-off, the first thing to watch is how tightly FC Köln set up defensively, because if they let Viktoria Köln play their attacking game freely from the start, this match should be open and entertaining with plenty of goals.
