The Bundesliga Update hosts Anne Hilt and Tobi Schäfer are looking forward to one of the hottest derbies in German football: Borussia Mönchengladbach against 1. FC Köln. However, they have different opinions when it comes to the question of how the game will end.
Cologne is having a strong season and may go into the game as slight favorites, but Gladbach has recently improved due to some changes and has the home advantage.
Will the duel be decided in midfield?
Anne and Tobi discuss how important the midfield duel between Florian Neuhaus and Florian Kainz is. Neuhaus has shown great improvement recently, Kainz is an absolute derby expert and has already scored four times against Gladbach.
Gladbacher back on track?
After their first win of the season in the league and progress in the cup, Gladbach should go into the derby with a big chest. But with 14 points from 9 games and 7th place in the table, Cologne are also in a better position than could perhaps be expected from a promoted team. Will the “favorite” prevail or will there be the next points for Gladbach and possibly a job guarantee for Eugen Polanski?
