Team News

Darmstadt
FC Koln
  • Goalkeeper Marcel Schuhen missed last weekend with a dead leg but should return. Fabio Torsiello has a muscle injury, while Christoph Klarer is available after suspension.
  • Fraser Hornby has a foot injury, while Christoph Zimmermann is ruled out with an ankle injury, as is Braydon Manu.
  • Jacob Christensen is nearing a return from a muscle tear, while back up keeper Philipp Pentke has a knee injury.

Prediction

  • Shot-shy Koln have only managed to score nine goals, the fewest in the league, ahead of their second straight Friday affair under the floodlights.
  • Darmstadt have the most porous defence in the league with 33 goals conceded, including a recent 8-0 mullering in Munich.
  • Hapless Koln languish at the bottom with only a solitary win, failing to keep a clean sheet in 20 games.
  • In a genuine relegation six-pointer, a share of the spoils may be the best option.
