Match preview: Regensburg vs Köln
Regensburg and Köln face off at the Continental Arena in a DFB Pokal match (Round 1). The history of direct confrontations at this venue favours the visitors, who have recorded 1 victory and 2 draws in their last 3 encounters. The last meeting here was on 8 December 2024, resulting in a 1-0 win for Köln, with Tim Lemperle scoring the only goal. Home advantage may play a crucial role in this fixture, as Regensburg shows significant discrepancies between their performance at home and away.
Team analysis: Regensburg
The home side is making their first appearance in this edition of the DFB Pokal, hoping to leverage their home ground for a positive outcome. They perform considerably better at home, with 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses in their last 15 home games, contrasted with 3 draws and 12 losses in their previous 30 away matches. Regensburg arrives fresh from a home defeat to MSV Duisburg (0-4). In their last 10 home matches across all competitions, they secured 4 wins, drew 4, and lost 2. Defensively, they have conceded goals in 8 of those 10 games, indicating a need for improvement, but their attack has been fairly regular, scoring in 7 of those 10 matches. The team rarely takes the lead first, having managed to do so in just 3 of their last 15 matches, and they have only turned results around in 1 of the 10 games where they conceded first.
Regensburg hosts Köln in a matchup where the initial balance might favour the home side, particularly due to their home scoring record. In their last 10 home games, they averaged 2.5 goals scored while conceding 1.4, showcasing their ability to create chances along with some defensive solidity. They typically employ a 4-2-3-1 formation, focusing on quick transitions and exploiting wide areas, while also pressing the opponent whenever possible.
Team analysis: Köln
The visiting team enters this edition of the DFB Pokal with aspirations of securing a favourable outcome and surprising the home side. Köln’s performance is relatively unaffected by being on the road, with similar results at home and away; in their last 30 fixtures, they have secured 8 wins, 1 draw, and 6 losses as visitors, scoring 15 goals while conceding 18. Conversely, their home record has been strong with 8 wins, 5 draws, and only 2 losses, netting 25 goals and conceding 14. They come off a convincing 4-0 home victory over Kaiserslautern. In their last 10 matches across all competitions, Köln recorded 4 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses. Their defence has been leaky, conceding in 9 of the last 10 matches, indicating the need for improvement; however, their attack has scored regularly in 8 of those 10 games. Outside of home, they see fewer goals, with 8 of the last 18 away games ending with fewer than 1.5 goals. In 15 fixtures, they managed to turn results around in only 2 of the 8 games in which they conceded first. One notable pattern in their last 18 away matches across all competitions is that they have scored 9 of their 22 goals between the 31st and 45th minutes.
Despite being the visiting team, Köln possesses competitive experience and technical quality, typically fielding a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, with effective ball circulation, wide movements, and well-timed arrivals from midfield. In their last 10 away games, they scored an average of 1.25 goals and conceded 1, demonstrating a less prolific but defensively consistent attack.
