The relegation-threatened Koln will hope to continue the historical trend of home team of the day dominating this contest as they come up against Werder Bremen. This Bundesliga game will be played at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne on Friday. The hosts are 16th in the standings ahead of this round with 16 points from 21 matches while the visitors are 10th with 26 points. Coln are four points above the bottom-two sides while five points separate them from safety zone. It is crucial that they retain some stubbornness in their game, as was evident in a three-game unbeaten run in the league. That saw them win against Eintracht Frankfurt and draw against Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg, all better-placed teams in the table. It is the home form that they should concentrate their energies on, as Koln have won just one of its last six home league games.

Werder are just two points behind seventh-placed Freiburg and can temporarily climb up to seventh with a win here. That said, with the two teams below on 23 points each, any adverse result could see them stutter down in the placings. Bremen may have lost 2-1 to Heidenheim in their last league game, but that was their only defeat across eight league matches – winning four and drawing three along the way. Bremen are making the right noises at the moment as that sequence saw them win against Bayern Munich and draw against Leipzig, so they can’t be taken lightly. Their away form has also improved steadily, with two draws and two wins from their last four away league trips.
