Team News

FC Koln
Stuttgart
  • add : Meiko Wäschenbach
  • 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. Rasmus Carstensen is available after suspension, while Eric Martel has an Achilles injury. Mathias Olesen and Meiko Wäschenbach both have muscle injuries.
  • Josha Vagnoman is nearing a return from a broken foot, while Nikolas Nartey has undergone knee surgery and may be out for the rest of the year. Woo-Yeong Jeong is impressing away on international duty with South Korea for the Asian Games.

Prediction

  • Struggling Koln punched above their weight last term, but have only picked up a solitary point this season.
  • Stuttgart lost 5-1 at Leipzig despite leading at half time, but have won all their other games in convincing fashion and went top of the table (for 18 hours) last Friday.
  • Koln have only four goals to their name and VfB can enjoy the happier end thanks to 10-goal Bundesliga topscorer Serhou Guirassy.
