Team News

Hoffenheim
FC Koln

Prediction

  • After eight defeats in a row, Hoffenheim have moved away from immediate relegation danger with three straight wins and grabbed a valuable draw at Bayern under new coach Pellegrino Matarazzo last time out.
  • Koln have drawn the joint most games in the league and have failed to score in seven of their last 11 games.
  • Hoffenheim have not lost to Koln in 13 games, their longest unbeaten run against any club and can extend that record with another win.
