German side FC Cologne are not enjoying the best of starts to the season and it could get worse for them if they don’t get enough to dispatch visiting Serbian side Red Star Belgrade in the two sides’ UEFA Europa League Group H clash on Thursday 28 September. Cologne have scored just once in their six Bundesliga games so far and have one point in the league, rooted at the bottom of the log and are strong contenders for relegation this early in the campaign. They lost their opening tie in Europa League, falling 1 – 3 to Arsenal, which also leaves them bottom of Group H so this home game is a chance for redemption. The German side heads to the game with a really blunt attack that has seen them score just twice in their last five matches. They head to this game with a run of a draw and four straight losses. Playing at home, they have two losses, a draw and two wins, scoring eight and conceding eight. Red Star on the other hand, carry to the game a seven match unbeaten streak; their last five matches have produced four wins and a draw. Playing away from home, they have one loss and four wins, scoring 13 and conceding three in the process. While Red Star sits atop the Serbian league, unbeaten, with 28 points from 10 matches, Cologne are bottom of the Bundesliga, winless. Red Star have managed two wins in their last 10 Europa League away matches but have lost just one of their last 10 Europa League matches. This will be the first ever meeting between the two sides.
