FC Cologne welcome VfB Stuttgart at RheinEnergieSTADION, Köln on Saturday, Jan 30 at 3:30 PM in a Bundesliga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
FC Cologne come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). VfB Stuttgart travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 4), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, FC Cologne face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. VfB Stuttgart have won 7 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in FC Cologne won 1–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.2 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Cologne a slight edge, but VfB Stuttgart are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
