Match Preview

Köln will host Borussia Dortmund in a Bundesliga matchup at RheinEnergieSTADION on March 7, 2026, GMT.

Köln holds the 13th spot with 24 points, while Borussia Dortmund is positioned 2nd with 52 points in the standings.

In their head-to-head encounters, Köln has struggled, losing 21 out of their 35 matches this season against Borussia Dortmund.

Köln has faced challenges at home, with a 50% loss rate in their last six Bundesliga matches, while Borussia Dortmund has been solid on the road, securing 50% of their away games.

It is predicted that over 2.5 goals will be scored in this fixture.

FC Köln conceded twice during the second half of their away game against Augsburg last time out as Lukas Kwasniok's men were well-beaten at the WWK Arena. Die Geißböcke have picked up just one point from the last 12 available heading into gameweek 25.

Borussia Dortmund were unable to contain the threat of Bundesliga top scorer Harry Kane last weekend as Die Schwarzgelben suffered a brutal 3-2 home defeat to Bayern Munich. That defeat left the visitors 11 points behind the league leaders, effectively ending their title dreams.
