1-0 specialist

Remarkably, Michael Gregoritsch has scored the lone goal of Freiburg's past two Bundesliga matches (won 1-0 away at Mainz and away at Wolfsburg). He is on course for a hat-trick of sorts today!

Gregoritsch gets the breakthrough!

Freiburg take the lead with substitute Michael Gregoritsch striking in his third successive Bundesliga game. Roland Sallai floated a great cross from the left that Nicolas Höfler turned on goal. After Marvin Schwäbe parried it out, Gregoritsch was then able to pounce on a loose ball in the goalmouth.

Cologne pressing

They have the fewest goals in the Bundesliga so far - ten - yet the visitors are showing attacking ambition. Luca Waldschmidt puts in a decent cross for Jan Thielmann, but he can't quite bring the ball down in time to set up any more than a tame shot from close range.

Streich's view on Cologne

After watching his side go down to West Ham United in the Europa League on Thursday, Freiburg boss Christian Streich wasn't moved to speak on the Cologne game but the 58-year-old did suggest that his team would lift themselves for the Matchday 15 encounter. Attacker Vincenzo Grifo, meanwhile, said that Freiburg were in for a "tough fight" on Sunday, adding that the Billy-Goats, "...are behind [in the standings] but they have quality."

Baumgart's view on Freiburg

"Freiburg are very solid and in my view the most dangerous team from set pieces. They know how they want to build up, are aggressive going forward and have lots of experience."
