Viktoria Köln enter this friendly on a run of three consecutive wins in league play, averaging 2.8 goals scored and 0.6 conceded over their last five. Their season record in competitive matches stands at six wins from eight, underpinned by a 100% over 2.5 goals rate and a home scoring average of 3.0 per game. 1. FC Köln, meanwhile, have started their Bundesliga campaign with three wins and a draw from four, also posting a perfect over 2.5 goals record and averaging 3.5 goals scored per game, though they have conceded in every outing.

Viktoria Köln's last five matches have seen them average 9.8 shots and 4.4 on target per game, while 1. FC Köln generate 16.6 shots and 5.6 on target. Both teams show a clear second-half scoring bias: Viktoria Köln have scored eight of their last 14 goals after the break, while 1. FC Köln have netted six of their last seven in the second period. Set-piece and discipline data are moderate, with both sides averaging around 1.6–1.8 yellow cards and 4–6 corners per match.
Given the attacking rates and recent H2H history (3-2 and 3-3), the model expects a high-scoring contest with both sides likely to find the net. 1.
