FC Koln take on the visitors Arsenal at “RheinEnergieStadion” in the matchday five of the UEFA Europa League Group stage. The game will be played in Cologne on Thursday, November 23rd.
FC Koln go on dropping in the German Bundesliga, sitting currently on the last place in the standings with only two points earned after 12 rounds played. So, there’s no wonder that “Die Geißbocke”
are not much concern about the Eurocups, settling on the last position in Group H table with three points taken, six goals for and seven goals against with four clashes behind. The Germans participated in seven encounters at their own turf in this season, having gained a win, single draw and five defeats in them.

Arsenal earned an important triumph over Tottenham last weekend in a derby in the Premier League where “The Gunners” currently occupy the sixth place with 22 points gained and 22-16 goal difference after 12 rounds played. As for the UEFA Europa League, Arsenal picked up 10 points there with eight goals for and three goals against. As a result, the club takes the lead in Group H, having secured itself a place in the spring stage of the tournament. Arsene Wenger’s side doesn’t impress in eight away battles of this season, having got three victories, single draw and four losses in them.
Arsenal beat FC Koln with 3:1 scoreline in face of their supporters in the first-lap clash. It goes without saying that FC Koln are much weaker than Arsenal now plus the Germans need to take on the pace in the Bundesliga, therefore, I expect that both rivals will use reserve squads in the Thursday fight and the visitors’ one is stronger even despite the fact that it will be an away battle for them. The sides’ experience and power are simply incomparable at this point.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
