Team News

Hoffenheim
FC Koln
  • Florian Grillitsch is available after suspension, but John Anthony Brooks is on the naughty step after picking up five yellow cards. Finn Becker has a knee injury.
  • Dennis Geiger has problems with his adductors, while Mërgim Berisha and Marco John have suffered ACL injuries and both will be out long-term.
  • Mark Uth is struggling with a knee injury, while strikers Davie Selke and Luca Waldschmidt will be both out for several weeks through injury.

Prediction

  • Struggling Koln moved further away from an automatic relegation spot after a precious 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend.
  • The recent defeat against Bayern was the only time in the last 24 games that Hoffenheim have failed to find the net.
  • Hoffenheim remain winless in six games, but won the reverse fixture 3-1 and can ease past relegation-haunted Koln with goals at both ends.
