Team News

FC Koln
Hoffenheim
  • Florian Dietz and Noah Katterbach are both on the long road back from ACL injuries, while Jan Thielmann and Mark Uth both have thigh problems.
  • Dennis Geiger has problems with his adductors, while Marco John and Bambasé Conté are both not being rushed back from injury.

Prediction

  • Hoffenheim have two wins in three with their games this term tending to be rich in goals and have not lost in seven games in Koln (4wins, 3 draws).
  • Koln punched above their weight to finish in 11th last term, but have only picked up a solitary point this season.
  • Again, it's hard to split these two sides and a share of the spoils is the play here.
