- 两队在科隆的五场比赛中都取得了进球；最后六场比赛，还有霍芬海姆的五场比赛；这是最后六点。
- 科隆在过去的三场比赛中丢了八个球。
- 霍芬海姆在过去的四场德甲主场比赛中失利
科隆需要在后场加强防守
德甲联赛还处于早期阶段，只完成了五场比赛，虽然霍芬海姆和科隆不会太担心从这些比赛中得到七分，但两队在周五晚上的比赛之前都有很多工作要做。
对于科隆来说，后面有一些问题，因为他们从对阵美因茨和弗赖堡的前两场比赛中获得了最大的回报，到在接下来的三场比赛中赢得了一分，他们已经丢了八个球。
如果这种情况得不到纠正，在第七名的基础上继续前进是不可能的，但他们的球队急于在自己的球迷面前表演。
霍芬海姆缺乏家庭舒适度
霍芬海姆在主场输掉了最后四场比赛，在最后两场主场比赛中，他们以3比1输给了法兰克福队，以4比1输送给了冠军拜仁慕尼黑队，哈里·凯恩为他们上演了帽子戏法。
因此，必须怀疑双方是否有能力越过这条线，但有一件事是可以预料的，那就是进几个球，所以抓住机会，让他们进三个以上，这在科隆的三场比赛中就发生了；这是六场郊游和四场霍芬海姆的比赛；六点了。
两队都有很多要证明的东西，但可能不会赢，所以支持2-2战平可能有正确的得分价值。
- Both teams have scored in five of Cologne’s last six matches and also five of Hoffenheim’s last six.
- Cologne have conceded eight goals in their last three games.
- Hoffenheim have lost their last four Bundesliga home matches
Cologne need to shore up at the back
It is early days in the Bundesliga with just five games completed and while Hoffenheim and Cologne will not be greatly concerned to have taken seven points from those outings, both teams have plenty to work on ahead of their Friday night clash.
For Cologne, there are issues at the back as they have slipped from claiming a maximum return from their opening two games against Mainz and Freiburg to winning a solitary point from their next three outings, in which they have conceded eight goals.
Building upon their seventh spot will be impossible if that situation is not rectified but they play a team anxious to put on a show in front of their own fans.
Home comfort lacking for Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim have lost their last four games on their home patch and did not get close in their last two home outings when they lost 3-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt and 4-1 to champions Bayern Munich, for whom Harry Kane scored a hat-trick.
Consequently, there have to be doubts as to whether either side have it in them to get over the line, but one thing that should be expected is a few goals, so take a chance on their being more than three, which has happened in three of Cologne’s six outings and four of Hoffenheim’s six.
Both teams have plenty to prove but may not win, so there could be correct-score value in backing a 2-2 draw.
