The last time these two teams met in this league edition, they drew (3-3) on September 13, 2025.

In this match, the home advantage could be significant, as Wolfsburg shows notable differences between results at home and away.

Analysis of Köln

After 5 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses, the home team is in 10th place with 20 points. In the last match, they lost to SC Freiburg away (2-1), after previously winning at home against FSV Mainz 05 (2-1). This team usually maintains performance when playing away, recording 5 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses in their last 30 games as visitors compared to 6 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses at home. In the last 9 league matches at home, Köln has recorded 3 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, earning 11 points from a possible 27. Defensive solidity has not been their strong point, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 10 matches, yet their attack has been scoring regularly, netting goals in 8 of the last 10 matches in this competition. In 19 matches this season, they have managed to turn around their score only once in the 9 games where they conceded the first goal.

Köln enters this match after a loss, 2-1, against Freiburg, marking their second defeat in the last three Bundesliga games: the only goal for this team was an own goal by Max Rosenfelder. The home team is expected to stick with their usual 4-4-2 formation, which favors quick transitions and attacks down the flanks, particularly focusing on the left side. In that area, Kristoffer Lund stands out as a full-back providing width and depth whenever the team attacks. Up front, Marius Bülter and Ragnar Ache take on the offensive roles, being key players to challenge the opposing defense. Missing from this match will be Dominique Heintz, Timo Hübers, Joël Schmied, Luca Kilian, Jahmai Simpson-Pusey, Said El Mala, and Malek El Mala, all due to injuries.

Analysis of Wolfsburg

After 5 wins, 4 draws, and 10 losses, the visiting team is in 12th place with 19 points. In their last match, they lost to FSV Mainz 05 away (3-1), following a previous home draw against Heidenheim (1-1). Interestingly, this team has been more effective away than at home, with a record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 8 losses in the last 30 away games; compared to 2 wins, 4 draws, and 9 losses at home. In their last 9 away matches in the league, Wolfsburg has recorded 3 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses, accumulating 10 points from a possible 27. Defensive strength has not been their strong suit, having conceded at least one goal in each of their last 10 matches, but their offense has been consistent, scoring at least one goal in each of their last 10 games in this competition. In 19 matches this season, they conceded the first goal 9 times and have never managed to overturn the scoreline.

Wolfsburg comes into this match after a defeat, 3-1, at Mainz 05, marking their second consecutive game without a win in this competition: the only goal for the team came from Mohamed Amoura. The visiting team is expected to line up in a classic 4-3-3 formation, with Mohamed Amoura, Dženan Pejčinović, and Patrick Wimmer forming the attacking trio, tasked with troubling the opposing defense. In midfield, Christian Eriksen plays a crucial role, connecting different sections and controlling the pace of the offensive actions with skill and vision. Missing from this match will be Joakim Maehle, Rogério, Jenson Seelt, Bence Dárdai, and Jonas Wind, all due to physical issues.
