Freiburg continues with good games that still keep it among the top 5 teams in the Bundesliga, and today they will welcome Cologne at the Europa Park stadium and have the opportunity to further strengthen their position at the top.In the last 5 rounds, Freiburg have recorded 3 wins and one draw with one defeat coming 5-0 against a fired-up Bayern, but when you consider the form of the reigning German champions, Freiburg fans can hardly regret that game. Coach Christian Streich's team is on a two-game winning streak after defeating Werder Bremen and Schalke in the previous round, and against Cologne they will try to record their third consecutive triumph, currently in fourth place with 24 points.On Thursday, Freiburg ended the group stage of the Europa League with a draw against Qarabag and advanced from the first place in the group to the round of 16. Since Streich rested most of the standard first team, Freiburg welcomes the match against Cologne in a fairly fresh state.In the last 5 rounds, the "Capricorns" achieved two wins and one draw, and suffered two defeats. In the previous round, they played a draw with Hoffenheim, while the round before that they lost 5-0 against Mainz. On Thursday, Cologne played 2-2 with Nice and ended this season's European competitions, as it was behind Nice and Partizan in the group. Although they failed to make it to the knockout stage of the Conference League, Cologne will now be able to fully focus on the Bundesliga competition, as they are currently in 12th place with 17 points won. If we take closer look at these two teams we can see Freiburg showed lot more in this season and since their players had some time to rest I expect much more fired up host for this game. Koln is going on another tough away game and i don't believe they will return with points, as their players are little bit exhausted from previous games.

弗赖堡继续打出出色的比赛，仍然保持在德甲前五的位置，今天他们将在欧罗巴公园球场迎来科隆，并有机会进一步巩固他们在榜首的地位。在过去的5轮比赛中，弗赖堡取得了3胜1平1负的战绩，以5-0的比分输给了劲敌拜仁，但当你考虑到德国卫冕冠军的状态时，弗赖堡球迷几乎不会后悔那场比赛。在上一轮击败云达不莱梅和沙尔克之后，教练克里斯蒂安·斯特雷希的球队已经取得了两连胜，在对阵科隆的比赛中，他们将试图创造自己的三连胜纪录，目前他们以24分排名第四。周四，弗赖堡在欧联杯小组赛中战平卡拉巴格，从小组第一晋级16强。由于斯特雷希让主力阵容的大部分球员都休息了，弗赖堡对与科隆的比赛充满了新鲜感。在最近的5轮比赛中，“摩羯座”取得了2胜1平，2负的成绩。在上一轮中，他们战平霍芬海姆，而在前一轮中，他们0 - 5输给美因茨。周四，科隆2-2战平尼斯，结束了本赛季的欧洲比赛，因为它在小组中排在尼斯和游击队之后。虽然科隆未能进入联赛淘汰赛，但他们现在可以把全部精力放在德甲比赛上了，因为他们目前以17分的成绩排在第12位。如果我们仔细观察这两支球队，我们可以看到弗赖堡在本赛季表现得更好，因为他们的球员有一些时间休息，我希望他们在这场比赛中表现得更有活力。科隆将迎来另一场艰苦的客场比赛，我不相信他们会带着积分回来，因为他们的球员在之前的比赛中有点疲惫。
