Team News

FC Koln
Borussia M.Gladbach
  • Jacob Christensen has a muscle tear, while Florian Dietz and Noah Katterbach are both close to a return from ACL injuries. Jan Thielmann and Mark Uth could return to the squad after niggly thigh problems.
  • Jonas Omlin needs a shoulder operation, while Stefan Lainer has lymph node cancer. Nico Elvedi missed international duty with a knee injury, while Hannes Wolf is ruled out with knee ligament damage. Christoph Kramer's injury situation will be assessed closer to the game.

Prediction

  • A Rhein derby at the wrong end of the table with bottom club Koln only picking up a solitary point this season.
  • Gladbach grabbed their first win of the season recently at struggling Bochum, while Koln have only four goals to their name, the worst record in the league.
  • Koln have not kept a clean sheet in 15 games, with their last one coming in a goalless stalemate against Gladbach in April.
  • Koln have lost all three home games and Gladbach can enjoy the happier end in a hotly-contested derby.
