Koln vs Union Berlin Form Analysis

The home side have been on a poor in recent weeks and have failed to register a win in their last five matches. It's not for the want of trying, 12 goals in their last six matches suggests that issues lie more in the defensive department rather than action in front of goal. They have a record of two wins, two draws and two defeats at home so far this season.

The away side picked up an impressive home victory against high-flying RB Leipzig last time out, a first win against this opponent in four attempts. This put an end to consecutive league defeats. Union Berlin have managed just two wins in six attempts away from home in the Bundesliga, including a thrilling away victory at Champions League side Frankfurt. Eight goals in their last five matches is good going to cause some a threat here.

Koln and Union Berlin have played out some thrilling matches in recent times. Goals seems to be the common factor when these two face-off.

Koln vs Union Berlin Key Players to Watch

Said El Mala (Koln) The teenager has been mightily impressive since making the step up from German third division side Viktoria Koln 1904. Two goals and an assist in his last four matches gives reason to believe that he is the player to watch for the home side.

IIyas Ansah (Union Berlin) The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has shown that he is more than capable of playing at this level having signed from Paderborn at the start of this season. He has registered five Bundesliga goals this season, including a goal against Leipzig last time out.
