Cologne

The matchday 24 of the Bundesliga pits Augsburg against Cologne on February 27, 2026. Both teams have had a recent history full of draws and difficulties in terms of performance away from home. This prediction is based on the recent statistics of both teams and the trends seen in their previous matchups. Can Augsburg maintain its unbeaten streak at home or will Cologne manage to surprise this time?

Augsburg's recent form

Augsburg comes into the match with good form in 2026, having earned 14 points in eight games played. Despite their two defeats against Borussia Mönchengladbach and Mainz, both games were away from home. One of the most notable victories was against Bayern Munich 2-1, which shows that the team is capable of surprising big teams. On their last matchday, Augsburg achieved a 3-2 victory against Wolfsburg, after losing twice, reflecting their mental strength and resilience.

Performance at home

Augsburg have been solid at home this season, earning 18 points at home, which places them in ninth position in the Bundesliga. The unbeaten run at home remains one of their greatest strengths, with three draws and four wins in their last seven home games. However, only twice have more than two goals been scored, which could suggest a trend towards closer matches. The team usually dominates in possession and shots on goal, standing out in the offensive part in particular.

Injuries and sanctions in Augsburg

For this match, Augsburg will have to face the absences of Gaueleu and Matsima due to injuries. However, their starting lineup still appears to be solid, and no significant changes to their playing structure are expected.

Recent form of Cologne

For its part, Colonia comes into this match in a somewhat more complicated situation. Currently, they occupy 12th place in the table with 24 points, and their distance from the relegation zone is only five points. Colonia's recent matches have not been favorable: they have recorded two defeats and a draw in their last three matches. Despite this, they have faced teams at the top of the table, such as Leipzig, Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, which could have influenced their performance. Their last match ended in a 2-2 draw against Hoffenheim, a team that is on a good streak.

Away performance

Colonia has had difficulties traveling this season. The last victory away from home dates back to October 2025, when they beat Hoffenheim 1-0. Since then, they have failed to win away, accumulating only two draws in their last five away games. This reflects a clear tendency towards inconsistency in the performance of the “goats” when playing away from their stadium.

Injuries and penalties in Cologne

Colonia has several important casualties for this match. Key players such as Castro-Montes, Cebulonson, Schmid, Heinz, Kilian, Huebers, Thielman and Niang are out due to injury. In addition, Maina and S. El-Mala's access to the field is in doubt, which could further affect the squad's options.

Expected lineup

The lineups of both teams are expected to be the following:

• Augsburg: Dahmen; Banks, Schlotterbeck, Zäsiger; Fellhauer, Jakic, Massengo, Giannoulis; Comur, Claude-Maurice, Ribeiro.
• Cologne: Schwebe; Simpson-Puzey, van den Berg, Ozkacar; Kaminski, Martel, Kraus, Lund; Waldschmidt, Ahe, Bülter.
