Team News

FC Koln
Werder Bremen
  • Jeff Chabot is suspended after picking up five yellow cards, but Timo Hübers should return from illness which kept him out last Sunday.
  • Mark Uth is struggling with a knee injury, while striker Luca Waldschmidt will be out for several weeks through injury.
  • Davie Selke has returned to training but is unlikely to be risked just yet.
  • Mitchell Weiser has adductor problems. Amos Pieper underwent ankle surgery and will be out for a few months.
  • Milos Veljkovic is struggling with a knee injury. Leon Opitz has an ankle problem, while Niklas Stark will be out for a few weeks with a hip injury.

Prediction

  • Struggling Koln played on Sunday so have a quicker turnaround and enjoy less rest rest than Bremen, who slipped to a first defeat in eight games last weekend.
  • Five points from the safety zone after being pegged back at the death against Hoffenheim last time out, Koln are the league's lowest scorers with only 15 goals.
  • Bremen won the reverse fixture 2-1, but relegation-haunted Koln can gain revenge by the same scoreline with goals at both ends.
