Team News

Wolfsburg
FC Koln
  • Manager Bruno Labbadia could return to a 4-3-3, with Paul Verhaegh returning from a one-match ban to start at right-back.
  • Robin Knoche and John Brooks offer further alternatives at centre-back.
  • Daniel Didavi is still struggling with an ankle injury and could be forced to miss out here.
  • Jorge Meré returns from a one-match ban and challenges Dominic Maroh for a spot at centre-back.
  • Salih Özcan provides a further option in central midfield.
  • Claudio Pizarro and Jhon Córdoba offer further alternatives up front.

Prediction

  • Wolfsburg only need a point to basically avoid direct relegation, as they have a significantly better goal difference than Hamburg, who are two points below them. If they win and Freiburg lose their match against Augsburg, they also have a chance of avoiding the relegation play-offs, given their superior goal difference over them as well.
  • Cologne are already relegated and have nothing to play for. They could influence what club to take down with them, but it remains to be seen if that is enough motivation to get a result here.
  • Expect Wolfsburg to try to put pressure on Cologne from the outset to possibly pick up their third home win of the season at the right time.
