preliminary report:
Good evening from Transdanubia! At Hungarian side Fehérvár FC, 1. FC Köln need to come back from a 2-1 deficit in the first leg to qualify for the group stage of the Europa Conference League. The duel in the MOL Aréna Sóstó is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m.
It has become less likely that 1. FC Köln will take part in the group phase of the second edition of the Europa Conference League set up by UEFA, despite the clear favorite role in the playoff duel with Fehérvár FC from last year’s Hungarian team, the outsider is after the first of the at least 180 minutes but with a 2:1 lead. The Billy Goats are under pressure to win in the fight for at least six more international games 60 km south-west of Budapest.
The line-up of 1. FC Köln:
Marvin Schwäbe, Benno Schmitz, Kristian Pedersen, Timo Hübers, Eric Martel, Luca Kilian, Dejan Ljubicic, Florian Kainz, Ellyes Skhiri, Linton Maina, Florian Dietz

Those responsible at the club from the cathedral city still firmly believe that the turning point will still succeed on Thursday evening from 7 p.m. in the MOL Arne Sosto in Székesfehérvár, Hungary.
The Cologne team had put themselves under great pressure in the person of Jeff Chabot, who had seen the red card in the first half after an emergency brake.
A simple win for Cologne against the supposed outsider would at least mean extra time in the second leg on Thursday evening. A win by more than a goal would mean the Effzeh qualified for the group stage of the Conference League.
