FC Koln will be desperate to secure their first league victory of the season when they host Borussia Monchengladbach on Sunday.
Gladbach, meanwhile, have won just once in the Bundesliga, meaning they will head into the weekend's action only two points clear of the relegation zone.
We say: FC Koln 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
These two sides have registered just one league win between them so far this season, suggesting there could be a chronic lack of confidence on display at RheinEnergieStadion this weekend.
With every point collected crucial for both sets of managers and players even at this early stage of proceedings, we can envisage a low scoring draw.

Both teams will be hoping to return to winning ways when Heidenheim host Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday.
Prior to the international break, Heidenheim were defeated away to Eintracht Frankfurt, while Augsburg lost at home to SV Darmstadt 98.
We say: Heidenheim 2-1 Augsburg
Heidenheim have been impressive at home this season, with only a late collapse against Hoffenheim costing them a 100% record after three games, whereas Augsburg have failed to win any of their last 16 away trips in the Bundesliga.
Thorup clearly has a major job on his hands to turn things around in Bavaria, but it may time him some time to do so. As such, we can envisage a narrow home victory for the newly promoted side on Sunday.
