The Rhinelanders, who won the most recent Bundesliga duel with SGE in mid-February thanks to Hübers’ goal (49th) and Skhiris (74th, 86th), who is now playing in Frankfurt, 3-0 and who were still dealing with the returnee Dominique Heintz (1. FC Union Berlin, most recently VfL Bochum), coach Steffen Baumgart also makes two changes. Maina and Tigges take over from Carstensen (bench) and Selke (back problems).

On the side of Hessen, who also had four newcomers in the last week with Kauã Santos (Flamengo RJ), Farès Chaïbi (Toulouse FC), Niels Nkounkou (AS St.-Étienne) and Sidney Raebiger (Greuther Fürth), coach Dino has Toppmöller made two personnel changes compared to the 2-0 ECL play-off second leg win over PFC Levski Sofia.

1. FC Köln made a much better impression in the first 180 minutes of the season than the empty points account would suggest. In the opening game at Borussia Dortmund, the billy goats only lost out after conceding a goal in the 88th minute. In the home game against VfL Wolfsburg, they lost 2-1 despite being ahead thanks to a goal by Waldschmidt (55th).

In the SG Eintracht Frankfurt camp, they longed for the end of the transfer window; in the last hours of Friday, the Hessians finally sold Kolo Muani for a record almost nine-digit sum. The Eagle Bearers can finally concentrate on what is happening on the pitch again. Before they made it into the group stage in the Europa Conference League on Thursday, they collected in the Bundesliga despite rather poor performances by beating SV Darmstadt 98 (1-0) and the last-minute draw at 1. FSV Mainz 05 (1:1) four points.
