Prediction: 1-1
Koln
After failing to impress in a 3-0 loss to Bayern Munich, Union Berlin will look to stay in the Champions League berth when they face Koln at their Stadion An der Alten Forsterei. The capital club have been impressive at home ground this term, but given their busy fixture list, tired legs should prove to be a big problem for Urs Fischer’s troops. Defender Jerome Roussillon is a major doubt, while forward Andras Schafer remains on the sidelined with a foot injury.
The Billy Goats, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Stuttgart (0-3) and Wolfsburg (0-2), and we believe that they should be happy with one point from Saturday’s clash. Koln’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Huseinbasic, Kainz, Schmitz, Thielmann, Pedersen, Kilian, Uth, Dietz, and Andersson. There are no suspended players in the away team.
