Hoffenheim Aims to Maintain Unbeaten Home Record Against Promoted Köln
3 Oct, 2025
Summary
- Hoffenheim have never lost their first three home matches of a Bundesliga campaign
- Hoffenheim have scored in their last 15 matches against Köln
- Köln earned promotion to the Bundesliga in May after five straight years in the top-flight
On October 3rd, 2025, Hoffenheim will host Köln in a Bundesliga clash at the PreZero Arena. Hoffenheim, who have never lost their first three home matches of a campaign, will be pushing for their first home win of the season. History suggests they are the favorites, having only lost one of the last 16 meetings between the two sides and having scored in all their last 15 matches against Köln.
Despite the village of Hoffenheim itself having a population of less than 4,000, the PreZero Arena has a capacity of over 30,000. Fans there have enjoyed two Champions League campaigns since the stadium's opening in 2009, as well as watching the development of players such as former Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino.
Visitors Köln earned promotion to the Bundesliga in May after five straight years in Germany's top-flight. After losing their last two matches, they'll aim to rediscover the form that saw them dispatch Freiburg 4-1 and beat Mainz in what's been their only away victory so far this season.
