Cologne

Cologne did not impress at all in the last game against “Freiburg” (0:2) and lost absolutely on the case, without showing anything sensible ahead. Closer to the winter break, it became noticeable that Steffen Baumgart’s team did not have the resources to maintain constant competition, because the team’s infirmary is full of iconic names. This defeat was the third for the “goats” in five previous meetings and they clearly need a break to recuperate.

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer defeated Union at home over the weekend (5:0), which will obviously add confidence to the players in the two remaining matches before the break. Wards of Xabi Alonso took advantage of the mistakes of the Berliners and implemented almost everything they had created. This success has propelled the Pharmacists to 14th place and they are well positioned to improve their position given the remaining calendar this year.
