Team News

FC Koln
Bochum
  • Mark Uth is struggling with a knee injury, while Luca Kilian has suffered an ACL injury and will be out for several months.
  • Justin Diehl will be out for several weeks with a muscle injury.
  • Moritz-Broni Kwarteng is available after suspension but has also suffered a knee injury so will not play again this season.
  • Back up goalkeeper Michael Esser has a knee issue, while Mohammed Tolba has suffered an ACL injury.

Prediction

  • Bochum sit a precarious one place above relegation trouble, with a joint league-high 11 draws stunting any upward progress.
  • The league's lowest scorers with 21 goals, Koln have not won in seven games to slip into an automatic relegation spot.
  • Koln have only garnered three points after conceding the first goal all season and have slipped seven points behind Bochum in the safety zone.
  • New Koln coach Timo Schulz has started with five successive away draws, but home form has been a problem with four defeats in five games.
  • The reverse fixture ended 1-1 and a similar result is on the cards in a genuine relegation six-pointer.
