Open Styles Point to Goals at RheinEnergieStadion

1. FC Köln have conceded 2.3 goals a game this season and let in 1.5 at home. Borussia Mönchengladbach have shipped four goals per game on their travels while scoring 1.5 themselves. Their last ten meetings have seen over 2.5 goals in nine of them. Köln average two goals a game at the RheinEnergieStadion and have yet to keep a clean sheet in any league match. Gladbach have found the net in only two of their four games but both teams scored in every one of Köln’s fixtures so far. The visitors sit bottom with three defeats already and must chase points. A repeat of the open end-to-end pattern seen in recent derbies remains the likeliest way the game unfolds.
