Team News

FC Koln
Paderborn
  • Gerhard Struber could make two defensive changes this weekend with Dominique Heintz and Jan Thielmann stepping into the line-up.
  • Mark Uth is back fit, meaning FC Köln have three injuries to contend with this weekend.
  • Centre-back Laurin Curda will miss the trip to the RheinEnergieSTADION through suspension, so Marcel Hoffmeier could be recalled on Friday evening.
  • Visar Musliu and Aaron Zehnter are the latest additions to the Paderborn injury list.

Prediction

  • FC Köln suffered a disastrous defeat against a struggling Darmstadt side last time out, conceding three goals in the second half in a humiliating 5-1 away loss.
  • Gerhard Struber's men have won just one of their last five 2. Bundesliga matches as they welcome Paderborn to the RheinEnergieSTADION.
  • Paderborn's unbeaten start to the season came to an end last Saturday as two late goals helped consolidate a 3-0 win for Kaiserslautern at Fritz-Walter-Stadion.
  • Friday's visitors have struggled on the road this season, drawing three and losing one of their last four league fixtures away from the Home-Deluxe-Arena.
