Dortmund opened their Bundesliga charge with a win which places them at the top of the standings going into the second week and will be keen to hold on that, while they are banking on their good form lately to spur them. They have won each of their last 11 matches across all competitions and are unbeaten in 12 matches. In their last 15 matches they have just one loss. Dortmund have scored two goals or more in each of their last 15 matches but they have conceded in nine of the 15, including their league opener against Augsburg. Last season Dortmund looked primed for the league title but stumbled on the way and were beaten to the title by Bayern; that memory should be enough to push them this time round and a good start means they have not lost any of their last four league matches, winning three straight. They have three losses and nine wins in their last 15 Bundesliga matches. They also have nine wins and three losses in the last 15 away league matches. They have failed to score in just one of the last five away league matches but when they score, it has been two goals and above. Cologne on the other hand, will not have very fond memories of Bundesliga, at least in the recent years; as they return to the league, they will be keen to end a six game winless streak in the Bundesliga and add on to the two wins they have managed in the last 15 league games. They have just one clean sheet in their last 16 Bundesliga games and it hasn’t been much better at home either in the league, with just three wins to show for the last 15 matches, and three clean sheets. Dortmund are unbeaten in their last five matches against Cologne; they won the last two meetings but the earlier three all ended in draws. In 87 meetings in history, Cologne have won 28 and Dortmund 36.
