📰 Team News: Cologne

It’s our opinion that Köln look set to use the 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, beginning the first half with Marvin Schwaebe, Tom Krauss, Rav van den Berg, Cenk Ozkacar, K. Lund Hansen, I. B. Johannesson, Eric Martel, Linton Maina, Jakub Kaminski, Said El Mala and Ragnar Ache.

ℹ️ Team News: Gladbach

There’s a good chance that Gladbach could decide to utilise a 3-4-2-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Moritz Nicolas, Philipp Sander, Nico Elvedi, Kevin Diks, Joseph Scally, Rocco Reitz, Yannik Engelhardt, Jens Castrop, Franck Honorat, Hugo Bolin and Haris Tabakovic.

✨ Prediction

We believe that Borussia Mönchengladbach could find themselves struggling to score goals against this Cologne outfit who we think will get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore see a hard-fought 1-0 winning score for Cologne at the end of this one.

Expecting it to be tight.
