FC Cologne welcome RB Leipzig at RheinEnergieSTADION, Köln on Saturday, Dec 12 at 3:30 PM in a Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

FC Cologne come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). RB Leipzig, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 0D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Despite playing at home, FC Cologne face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. RB Leipzig have won 5 of 10 encounters, with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in RB Leipzig won 2–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.8 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Cologne a slight edge, but RB Leipzig are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
