Cologne v Hoffenheim
We've been against Hoffenheim several times this season after a disruptive summer, but Alfred Schreuder seems to be getting them pointed in the right direct now with the side now searching for a sixth successive victory this Friday night - a run which started with a 2-1 away victory at Bayern Munich.
They travel to Cologne - a side who have collected just seven points from 10 matches, and have lost three of their four home games this season. Overall their league record reads 2-1-7 this season, with a recent 3-2 reversal at regional side Saarbrucken being thrown into the mix. Of their two wins, one came against Paderborn - the whipping boys of the division this season.
There isn't a whole lot to split the pair on the shot data, although the passing data on whoscored.com supports the ascertain that Hoffenheim are more comfortable with the ball and controlling games far more effectively.
On the team news front, Cologne are without Florian Kainz and Noah Katterbach, while Hoffenheim may miss Andrej Kramaric. Despite his prolific nature, he's only played twice this season in any case, so they can cope if he is ruled out.
Their recent form, coupled with a healthy 15/8 on Hoffenheim makes the away side a bet here.
