Koln take on the visitors Freiburg in the round 3 match of German Bundesliga. The game will be played at RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne on Friday, September 16th.
Koln show excellent defensive football at the start of the new season. The team played three matches, counting German Cup, and conceded no goals in these matches. Solid performance in defense became defining feature of Peter Storks’ team. On top of that, not all the best Koln’s players available for selection so the results may improve when everyone is fit. Perhaps this time the team might get involved in battles for eurocup zone if they keep up with successful results.

Freiburg returned to the Bundesliga after only one year spent in the second German division. Newly-promoted side lost an opening away match to Hertha Berlin, 1-2, but managed to beat strong Borussia Monchengladbach at home, 3-1, showing excellent converting of chances created. These two matches left impression that Freiburg learned their lesson and will do everything to avoid relegation battle or return to Bundesliga 2.
Freiburg are successful in head-to-heads with Koln, taking win in their last four clashes with 8-2 aggregate score. However, Koln improved since the last time opponents faced one another and is seems they are able to end this disappointing streak or at least avoid conceding number of goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals.
