🗞️ Team News: Cologne

The Cologne manager Steffen Baumgart will be grateful to have no fitness worries whatsoever coming into this game with a fully injury-free squad to choose from.

In our view, Köln could kick off with a 4-1-4-1 formation for this one, beginning the first half with Marvin Schwaebe, Benno Schmitz, Timo Huebers, Julian Chabot, Leart Paqarada, Dejan Ljubicic, Rasmus Carstensen, Denis Huseinbasic, Florian Kainz, Linton Maina and Davie Selke.

🗞️ Team News: Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim manager Pellegrino Matarazzo has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Bambasé Conté (Unknown Injury), Dennis Geiger (Adductor problems) and Marco John (Unknown Injury) miss out here.

We are inclined to think that Hoffenheim appear most likely to elect for a 3-4-1-2 system, giving starts to Oliver Baumann, Ozan Kabak, Kevin Vogt, John Anthony Brooks, Pavel Kaderabek, Robert Skov, Grischa Proemel, Florian Grillitsch, Andrej Kramaric, Wout Weghorst and Maximilian Beier.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Hoffenheim could well find it tough to score goals against this Cologne lineup who we think might well score at least once to gain the upper hand.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive game with a 1-0 win for Cologne at the end of the 90 minutes.

Let’s see how this one goes.
