RB Leipzig vs 1.FC Köln

RB Leipzig lost only two of their 14 Bundesliga matches against 1. FC Köln (W7 D5) – with a 6-0 victory in their last home game against Köln in October 2023, RB celebrated their joint second-highest BL victory. Among current BL teams, RB has averaged more goals per game against Effzeh than any other team (2.4).

RB Leipzig hasn't lost a single one of its 36 Bundesliga matches against newly promoted teams (W31, D5) – never before in Bundesliga history has a club had such a long streak against newly promoted teams. However, in the 1-1 draw against Kiel in their last home clash against a newly promoted team in mid-April, RB Leipzig dropped points after nine consecutive home wins.

With seven points from three matches, 1. FC Köln enjoyed its best Bundesliga start since 2016/17 (also 7 points), when Cologne finished fifth and went on to play in the Europa League. With eight goals, Cologne has the joint second-best offense – the last time they scored that many goals after three games was in the 1977/78 championship season.

RB Leipzig recently celebrated its second consecutive Bundesliga win, a feat the Saxons had only previously achieved once this calendar year, in April (also 2). Leipzig didn't concede a single goal – three consecutive Bundesliga wins without conceding a goal would already be a club record for the Saxons (last in September/October 2024).

Cologne's Jakub Kaminski scored the latest goal in Bundesliga history since German data began (2004/05) in the 104th minute. 1. FC Cologne has now scored more goals from the 90th minute onwards (5) this competitive season than in the entire previous season (3, excluding extra time).
