Team News

Elversberg
FC Koln
  • One change is expected from Horst Steffen this weekend with central midfielder Luca Dürholtz lining up to replace Frederik Schmahl.
  • Frederik Jäkel and Patryk Dragon are both confirmed absentees for Elversberg.
  • Gerhard Struber could make changes at both ends of the field in gameweek two with centre-back Timo Hübers and Linton Maina both in line for recalls.
  • FC Köln have three confirmed absentees with Luca Kilian, Florian Kainz and Max Finkgräfe all unavailable on Saturday.

Prediction

  • Elversberg posed minimal threat in the attacking third against a new-look Magdeburg side in gameweek one.
  • Horst Steffen's men still managed to claim a point following a goalless draw, but that performance will make for a concerning viewing for those hoping for a top-half finish this season.
  • FC Köln were given a rude awakening last Friday as their return to the second tier was spoiled by Hamburg, fresh off the back of their own heartbreak last season.
  • Die Geißböcke attempted a staggering 28 shots, but a first-half double from Ransford Königsdörffer confronted them with an insurmountable deficit.
