Hoffenheim hosts Köln in a matchup between two teams facing serious defensive problems. The hosts have conceded in each of their last five Bundesliga matches, including four against Bayern and three against Eintracht Frankfurt. However, their attack is capable of scoring – the four goals against Union Berlin are proof of this.
Köln are showing similar trends: they have scored in four of their last five matches, but have conceded 10 goals. The "Goats" are playing a vibrant attacking game, but are completely lacking defensively.
Given the total vulnerability of both teams' defenses and their attacking ambitions, this match is likely to be a close one. Neither team will leave with a clean sheet.
