Team News

Fortuna Duesseldorf
FC Koln
  • Daniel Thioune should name an unchanged starting XI on Saturday following a commanding with against Hertha Berlin.
  • Shinta Appelkamp and Jamil Siebert are joined by summer signing Dzenan Pejcinovic on the Fortuna Düsseldorf injury list.
  • Gerhard Struber will avoid sweeping changes this weekend but could offer a start to Luca Waldschmidt.
  • Mark Uth and Jacob Christensen are among five confirmed absentees for FC Köln.

Prediction

  • Fortuna Düsseldorf scored early in each half last Sunday as they claimed an impressive 2-0 away win against Hertha Berlin at the Olympiastadion.
  • That result helped Daniel Thioune's men retain top spot ahead of Karlsruher, meaning they head into gameweek six with 13 points from a possible 15.
  • FC Köln were heading for a deserved three points against Magdeburg last weekend, but late goals from Falko Michel and Jean Hugonet flipped the scoreline as Gerhard Struber's side walked away empty-handed, despite attempting 34 shots.
  • The visitors are unbeaten on the road this season, but this will be a very tough test.
