Team News

FC Koln
Greuther Fuerth
  • Dominique Heintz suffered a muscle injury during the game against Hertha Berlin and will be absent from the squad on Saturday as a result.
  • If Gerhard Struber is committed to playing the 3-4-3 system then this could reward youngster Elias Bakatukanda with a rare start in Heintz's place.
  • Leo Haas will make at least two changes for the trip to the RheinEnergieSTADION with Reno Münz and Dennis Srbeny contenders for recalls.
  • Roberto Massimo is the headline absentee from a four-man Greuther Fürth injury list.

Prediction

  • Tim Lemperle's goal was all that separated FC Köln and Hertha Berlin at the full-time whistle last Saturday as FC Köln claimed a narrow 1-0 win at the Olympiastadion. This was a much-needed result for Gerhard Struber after back-to-back league defeats and lifted the hosts up to 11th in the standings.
  • Greuther Fürth were brought crashing back down to earth after their 4-3 win against Schalke, losing 5-1 on home soil to Florian Kohfeldt's Darmstadt side in a humiliating defeat. Leo Haas' men have lost five of their last seven 2. Bundesliga matches and are heading in the wrong direction.
