Prediction: 1-1
Koln
A spot in the German Cup last 16 will be at stake when Stuttgart and Koln take on each other at Mercedes-Benz Arena. Die Schwaben are undefeated in the previous three league fixtures, and they head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin. Denmark rising star Wahidullah Faghir is pushing for a start after scoring the equalizer against Union Berlin, while key attacker Sasa Kalajdzic remains in the recovery room.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, came from two goals behind to share the spoils with Bayer Leverkusen in their last league match. Anyhow, Stuttgart and Koln seem to be evenly matched at the moment, and we are tempted to put our money on draw. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams shared the spoils. Both Horn and Shkiri miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
