Wolfsburg welcome a Koln side who have made a perfect start to the season, winning both of their Bundesliga games so far and only conceding one goal in the process. The hosts have won one and drawn one so far this term, and will be looking to improve their poor home record from last season.

Match Stats: Koln have started strongly
Koln have registered two impressive wins so far in the Bundesliga. They overcame Mainz on the opening weekend of the season in a classic away performance. This was pretty notable seeing as Mainz had one of their best seasons in recent memory last season, it’s an early sign that Koln could have a strong campaign.
They followed up that win with a 4-1 thrashing of Freiburg, who also finished in the top half of the Bundesliga last season. Koln earned promotion from Bundesliga 2 last season, they finished top of the pile and had a good away record, avoiding defeat in 12 of their 17 assignments.
They’ve given themselves a great chance of building some early momentum with their two victories so far, but this will certainly be their biggest test. Wolfsburg drew against Mainz last time out, but did run out 3-1 winners over Heidenheim on the opening weekend.
Wolfsburg will be hoping to improve on their home record from last season. They only managed to win three of their 17 games at home, but those games did see 57 goals (3.35 per game).

Shot Stats: Bulter’s on fire
Marius Bulter has started the season in fine form for Koln with four goal contributions (two goals, two assists) across his two Bundesliga appearances so far. He plays as the number nine for Koln and netted seven goals in the Bundesliga last season for Hoffenheim.
Bulter was quite a shrewd signing by Koln due to his experience at the Bundesliga level. He’s played in the Bundesliga for four of the last five seasons, so he has plenty of experience at this level, which can aid Koln in their bid to stay up. Bulter scored Koln’s winner against Mainz on the opening weekend of the season and was involved in three of the four goals that Koln scored against Freiburg last time out.
It’s not clear how long this early run of form will last for Koln and Bulter, there are much bigger challenges ahead, but for now they can continue to offer a real threat to other sides in the Bundesliga.

Card Stats: Wolfsburg prone to frustration
There’s quite a few factors that could lead to Wolfsburg ending up with a high card count here. No side picked up more cards in the Bundesliga last season than Wolfsburg (75 – 2.20 per game).
This record, coupled with their poor form at home last season, should lead to real frustration within the home camp. This connection happened quite a few times last season, 57% of the cautions that Wolfsburg received last season were when they were the home side.

If Koln can frustrate their opponents, we could see a few bookings for the hosts. Wolfsburg were held to a 1-1 draw at home against Mainz in their last league match, the hosts received a late red card on that occasion, showing that their frustrations can often spill over.
