FC Koln v Arsenal Team News

Koln (3 pts, W1 D0 L3) sit bottom of the group and will be eliminated if they don’t win, while already-qualified Arsenal (10 pts, W3 D1 L0) would make sure of top spot by avoiding defeat.

Matchday 1 saw Arsenal defeat Koln 3-1 at the Emirates with goals from Saed Kolasinac, Alexis Sanchez, and Hector Bellerin after Koln took an early lead through Jhon Cordoba. That was the first competitive meeting between the clubs.

Koln are back in Europe for the first time in 20 years after finishing 5th in Bundesliga (BL) last season. However, they are struggling to stay afloat this year and are currently bottom of the standings after 12 matches (2 pts, W0 D2 L10).

The results of these 2 clubs across competitions over the last 15 matches is an exact mirror image. Koln have picked up just 2 wins (D2 L11) while Arsenal have lost just 2 matches (W11 D2).

During this period, Koln have managed just 2 clean sheets while Arsenal have failed to score in only 2 matches. That form continued in the weekend fixtures as well with Koln losing at Mainz 1-0 while Arsenal defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0.

Conclusion and Match Preview:

Koln’s 5-2 win over BATE ended their run of 4 European defeats and was only 2nd time in 17 matches that they scored more than 1 goal in a match. This season, they have already shipped 30 goals in 16 games across the BL and EL.

This season, Arsenal are making their EL group stage debut after failing to qualify for the Champions League for the first time in 21 years.
