Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they host FC Koln on Saturday evening.

The visitors, meanwhile, have collected only one point from their last four matches, with Steffen Baumgart’s side only seven points clear of relegation danger.

Players to watch: Raphaël Guerreiro, who scored to put Dortmund 2-1 up against Schalke last time out, netted in the first minute of this fixture back in January 2020.

In November that year, Ellyes Skhiri scored both goals as Cologne won 2-1 here and, he’s the last player to score for them this season.

Hot stat: Dortmund scored at least two first-half goals in five of their last six home league games (HT: W4, D2).

Borussia Dortmund 2-1 FC Koln

With both teams missing several key players due to injury, we do not expect either side to be at their best on Saturday, especially having suffered disappointing results last weekend.

However, Dortmund should be able to gain a marginal victory to ensure that they move one point above Bayern prior to their fixture against Leverkusen on Sunday, with Koln needing to pick themselves up after the international break.
