FC Cologne had a solid begin to this 2016/2017 focused season, yet they began to hint at shortcoming as of late. They have just won once in their last four recreations in the Bundesliga, and they are as of now on a two-diversion winless run. Last time out, Cologne were beaten 4-0 out and about at Hoffenheim, surrendering two objectives in every half. The awful news is that Cologne are currently 180 minutes of football without an objective out of the blue this season. Be that as it may, it's simply an issue of time until the point that they will locate the back of the net by and by, as Anthony Modeste has been in astounding structure so far this season. The 28-year-old striker is the Bundesliga's second best scorer with 12 objectives added to his repertoire from his 13 group appearances. Koln end up in seventh place in the standings with 22 focuses after 13 rounds, only two focuses off their Saturday's adversaries. Cologne can rely on their home shape in front of this conflict as they are unbeaten in the last ten home installations in all rivalries, winning eight and attracting double the procedure. Moreover, Koln have won their last three home gatherings with Borussia Dortmund in all rivalries, scoring two objectives in two of these.

Cologne: Horn – Sörensen, Mere, Heintz, Hector – Clemens, Höger, Özcan, Jojic – Terodde, Osako

Non-attendants: Klünter (suspended), Bittencourt (crotch), Handwerker (broken hand), Queiros (neck)

Winger Leonardo Bittencourt is still out of any match activity because of a crotch issue. Focus back Joao Queiros has experienced a neck issue and he is probably not going to include in any match for about a month.

Right winger Marcel Risse is experiencing knee damage and will take no part in this diversion. Somewhere else, there is no some other major issue with respect to the player's wellness and wellbeing for the Cologne side.

Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang investment in the amusement looks dubious since his contribution in the diversion against Cologne essentially depends on whether his proposed move to Arsenal experiences or not.

Marco Reus is fit again however may indeed end up on the seat giving the high school English wonder, Jadon Sancho the possibility by and by to inspire from the left wing ideal from the begin. Pulisic is likewise prone to begin in front of Yarmelenko.

Somewhere else the long haul truants incorporate Schmelzer (calf), Philipp (knee), Guerreiro (thigh), Rode (pelvis), Durm (lower leg) and Larsen (knee).

After two sequential group wins, this triumphant run was ended by FC Augsburg last time around when Augsburg got in the second half to draw the match one all. Be that as it may, the trust in the Cologne side still runs high particularly given their enhancing structure.

Be that as it may, Dortmund regardless of a current keep running of poor outcomes remain an impressive side and they will be top choices when they confront the base set group on February 3.

Accordingly, we foresee that inferable from prevalent group bore, Dortmund will break their keep running of attracting diversions the Rhein Energie Stadium and thrashing the enhancing Cologne side.
