1. FC Köln are having a rough time right now - they've lost almost all of their recent matches and haven't been able to get much going. Borussia Dortmund have been up and down, with some draws and losses mixed in, but they did manage a win not long ago, so they look a bit steadier overall.

When these two have met in recent years, the games have often had a fair number of goals, sometimes quite a few, though a couple of meetings were tight and low-scoring. Given Köln's struggles and Dortmund being the stronger side lately, Dortmund look the more likely winners here, though it could be a fairly open game.
