Koln has had a disastrous start to the championship, which is best shown by its position in the table. After seven matches played, they are in last place in the table, with only one point won. An additional concern for the hosts is the fact that they scored only four goals in that period, which is below any level for a team competing in the Bundesliga. After a draw with Eintracht Frankfurt in the third round, Koln went on a four-game losing streak, losing to Hoffenheim, Werder Bremen, Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen in the last round. Today, they welcome Borussia Monchengladbach on their field, which, although it has difficulties at the start of this season, will not be an easy opponent at all. Before this round, Borussia Monchengladbach is in 12th place in the table, with six points won, only two more than the teams in the relegation zone, and there is no doubt that if they do not improve their form, they will find themselves in a difficult situation in the rest of the championship. Since the start of the season, they have been playing in a very variable form, which can be seen in the results. Two draws and three defeats in the first five rounds were followed by a triumph against Bochum away from home, which heralded better results for this team. They have several very quality players in the team and in my opinion they are a much better team than Koln and I think it's only a matter of time before they start recording better results. A team like Koln can be ideal for them and I believe that they can win at least one point in this match.

科隆在联赛中开局糟糕，积分榜上的名次就是最好的证明。七场比赛后，他们在积分榜上排名最后，只赢了一分。另一个让主队担心的是，他们在这段时间里只进了4个球，这低于任何一支参加德甲比赛的球队的水平。在第三轮战平法兰克福之后，科隆进入了4连败的状态，在最后一轮输给了霍芬海姆、云达不莱梅、斯图加特和勒沃库森。今天，他们欢迎门兴格拉德巴赫来到他们的球场上，尽管他们在赛季初遇到了困难，但他们绝对不是一个容易对付的对手。本轮之前，门兴格拉德巴赫排在积分榜第12位，积6分，只比降级区球队多2分，毫无疑问，如果他们不改善自己的状态，在接下来的联赛中，他们会发现自己处境艰难。从赛季开始，他们的表现就非常多变，这一点从比赛结果中可以看出。前五轮2平3负，之后客场战胜波鸿，预示着球队将取得更好的成绩。他们有几名非常优秀的球员，在我看来，他们比科隆强得多，我认为他们取得更好的成绩只是时间问题。像科隆这样的球队对他们来说是理想的，我相信他们可以在这场比赛中至少赢得一分。
