Team News

FC Koln
Eintracht Braunschweig
  • Gerhard Struber could revert back to the starting XI that faced Elversberg two weeks ago for the visit of Eintracht Braunschweig.
  • Centre-back Julian Pauli is a fresh injury concern after he picked up a knock during the DFB-Pokal game against Sandhausen.
  • Daniel Scherning could hand full league debuts to Fabio Di Michele Sanchez and Walid Ould-Chikh on Saturday evening.
  • Kevin Ehlers and Sidi Sane are both confirmed absentees for Eintracht Braunschweig.

Prediction

  • FC Köln needed extra time to beat 3.Liga side Sandhausen in the DFB-Pokal last weekend as their difficult start to life back in the second tier continued. The pre-season promotion favourites have just one point from their opening two league fixtures but have a golden opportunity to get off the mark with a win on Saturday.
  • There was a good feeling in the Eintracht Braunschweig camp heading into this season following a miraculous escape last term, but Daniel Scherning's men have experienced a nightmare start. The visitors conceded eight goals across two defeats in the league before suffering a 4-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB-Pokal.
