Viktoria Cologne

WWLLWL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to Alemannia Aachen in 3rd Liga competition, Viktoria Cologne and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

Faton Ademi (8') and Lars Gindorf (21', 38') scored for Alemannia Aachen.

The stats don’t lie, and Viktoria Cologne have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 9 goals in total. In defence, Viktoria Cologne seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. That trend might not follow through into this match, however.

Coming into this meeting, Viktoria Cologne have not beaten Duisburg when having played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
