Team News

  • Antar Yahia could make his Kaiserslautern debut, starting alongside Jan Simunek at centre-back.
  • Ariel Borysiuk could make his debut as well, replacing the injured Pierre de Wit in central midifeld.
  • Richard Sukuta-Pasu and Olcay Sahan compete for the spot on the right wing.
  • Striker Dorge Kouemaha is injured, but manager Kurz could field a 4-4-2 system nonetheless, with new signings Sandro Wagner and Jakub Swierczok up front.
  • With Ammar Jemal at the Cup of Nations, Kevin McKenna could start at centre-back again.
  • Talisman Lukas Podolski is injured. Mato Jajalo could replace him in the starting line-up and start behind Milivoje Novakovic.

Prediction

  • After five draws in a row, Kaiserslautern need a home win to climb out of the relegation zone. The new signings will need some time to adapt, but certainly have the potential to help the club to stay in the Bundesliga.
  • Cologne have lost their last three games in a row and the injury of Lukas Podolski does not make it any easier for them to improve that in the next few games. It remains to be seen how the team will be able to deal without him.
  • Expect this to be a competitive game. Both teams need a result in order not to get sucked into the relegation battle in the next few weeks.
  • PREDICTION: 1-1 Draw
