Team News

FC Koln
Union Berlin
  • Dejan Ljubicic has been feeling unwell along with Mark Uth and Leart Paqarada. Striker Davie Selke has a fractured foot and will not play again this season.
  • Luca Kilian has suffered an ACL injury and will be out for several months. Eric Martel is available after suspension, and Justin Diehl is nearing a return from a muscle injury.
  • Barring late injuries Union have a full-strength squad at their disposal.

Prediction

  • A genuine relegation six-pointer with six points separating the two sides. It's a must win game for Koln who need to improve their goal difference as well.
  • Union have not won in six games and pulled the plug on head coach Nenad Bjelica on Monday.
  • The league's lowest scorers with 24 goals in 32 games, Koln sit five points from the relegation playoff place now occupied by Mainz.
  • Union started the season in Champions League action, but have only gained three points after falling behind this season, the fewest in the Bundesliga.
  • The reverse fixture ended 2-0 in Union's favour, but relegation-haunted Koln can nick this one on home soil.
