Hungarian club MOL Fehérvár FC, with German coach Michael Boris, face 1. FC Köln in the Conference League playoffs. After a comfortable 5-0 win at home in the first leg, Hungary won 2-1 at FC Petrocub Hînceşti in Moldova on Thursday. This also means that the first leg will take place in Cologne on August 18 and the second leg in Hungary a week later. If Hînceşti had progressed, home advantage might have had to be swapped.

The starting eleven at Fehérvár also include Palkó Dárdai (23), ex-Berliner and son of former Hertha coach Pál Dárdai, as well as German left-back Marcel Heister (30), who, however, did not get past appearances for Hoffenheim II in the regional league in his home country was. Should Cologne prevail and start internationally in the group phase of the Europa League, as they did in 2017, the Bundesliga would have eight clubs at the start in the European competitions. In addition to the Domstadters, the five Champions League participants FC Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig and Eintracht Frankfurt as well as Union Berlin and SC Freiburg in the Europa League.
