Köln vs VfL Wolfsburg Bundesliga Match Preview or Key Statistics 🐺
Köln have won three of their last five Bundesliga games against Wolfsburg (L2) - as many as they won in their previous 23 BL matches against the Wolves combined (D9 L11).
Köln have won each of their last three Bundesliga home games against Wolfsburg – more than the Billy Goats managed across their first 11 BL home matches vs. Wolfsburg combined (2).
Köln’s winning run at home to Wolfsburg (3 games) in the Bundesliga is longer than versus any other side.
As was the case last season, Wolfsburg are unbeaten after the first nine Bundesliga matchdays – they have never gone longer into a BL season without tasting defeat, having lost on matchday 10 of 2019/20 in Dortmund (3-0).
1. FC Köln have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 20 Bundesliga games, which makes it their longest ever run without a clean sheet.
This is Wolfsburg’s second-best start to a Bundesliga season, having only ever had more points after nine BL games in 2004/05 (21) than they currently do (17).
Köln ended a run of 18 games without a win with a 2-1 victory at Borussia Dortmund on matchday 9 to avoid setting a new and unwanted club record. The Billy Goats last endured a winless run this long back in 2005/06 and have still never gone more than 18 games without a win.
Wolfsburg’s 5-3 home win over Werder Bremen saw more goals scored (8) than in the previous four Wolfsburg home games this season combined (6). It was also the first time that the Wolves scored five goals in a Bundesliga game under Oliver Glasner.
Oliver Glasner’s record of 1.7 points per away game is the second-best rate of any Wolfsburg coach since winning promotion to the Bundesliga in 1997. Only Lorenz-Günther Köstner averaged more points in his away games during his two spells as interim coach in 2009/10 and 2012/13 (1.8).
Wolfsburg’s Wout Weghorst has scored in five of his last six Bundesliga games, netting six times in total. In the 17 BL games under Oliver Glasner in which he has scored, Wolfsburg have only lost once, 3-2 to Bremen in December 2019 (W11 D5).
