Four rounds are to be played in the
German Bundesliga till the winter break. The opener fixture of the 14th round brings on Friday the duel between
VfL Bochum and
1. FC Köln. Bochum is second last but celebrated last round a 1-0 away win against Hamburger SV. Köln faces rank 15 and lost last week 0-4 at home against Hoffenheim.
VfL Bochum stands at the moment on a relegation place. They got only 11 points in 13 Bundesliga games, but last week Bochum celebrated a very important victory. VfL beat Hamburg with 1-0. The winning goal scored Dennis Grote. It was the first win for Bochum under new coach Heiko Herrlich. Now the next victory should follow in the six-points-game against FC Köln. Coach Heiko Herrlich will have to pass on Zlatko Dedic and Mimoun Azaouagh. VfL Bochum won only 1 of their 6 home games so far (1 win, 2 draws, 3 defeats).
1. FC Köln is in the league table 2 ranks and 1 point ahead VfL Bochum. Their bad positition results from the weakness at home. Köln´s away statistic is not so bad. They got 8 of their 12 points in foreign stadiums. So they are in the away table on rank 9, equal on points with Bayern München. Very bad is Köln´s offensive. The team of coach Zvonimir Soldo scored only 7 goals in 13 Bundesliga games, the fewest of all Bundesliga clubs. DFB forward Lukas Podolski scored only 1 goal in 12 matches.
