Team News

FC Koln
Magdeburg
  • Centre-back duo Timo Hübers and Dominique Heintz are both doubtful for the visit of Magdeburg on Saturday evening.
  • If neither are deemed fit enough to start then Gerhard Struber could hand a full league debut to Elias Bakatukanda.
  • Star man Baris Atik should be fit enough to feature at the RheinEnergieSTADION this weekend.
  • Striker Martijn Kaars is a doubt for the away side, while Aleksa Marusic is among three first-team players sidelined with injuries.

Prediction

  • After a slow start to their first season back in the second tier, FC Köln are finally starting to build some momentum.
  • Gerhard Struber's side followed up a dominant 5-0 win against Eintracht Braunschweig with an equally impressive triumph over Schalke in gameweek four.
  • Magdeburg turned in their strongest performance of the season so far before the international break, scoring three times in the final half-hour as they hammered Nürnberg 4-0 at Max-Morlock-Stadion.
  • Christian Titz's side are unbeaten in the league heading into gameweek five with eight points to their name.
