Steffen Baumgart was primarily concerned with the mindset of his players in advance: “In the end, it’s about our mentality. […] I expect my team to act courageously. Regardless of what name comes our way. I will never lose my confidence,” said the Cologne native at the press conference.

Thomas Tuchel is of course also concerned with the condition of his national players: “The players came back healthy. Basically, we are doing everything we can to make you feel good here.

Regarding the personnel: Steffen Baumgart is swapping three positions for Cologne compared to the 1-1 draw against Bochum.

Ljubicic also starts in central midfield. Kainz moves to ten and Uth to the bench. On the right wing, Thielmann is preferred to Waldschmidt.

FC Bayern have three players in the starting line-up today, Kimmich, Sané and Goretzka, who deservedly lost 2-0 against Austria on Tuesday. Müller and Gnabry, who are on the bench today, were also there. Can the German national players switch straight back to league mode or are they still stuck in the shameful international break?

How are Cologne coming out of the international break? In the past few weeks, Steffen Baumgart’s team has rarely shown good performances. But the record in the Bundesliga was still quite good: there was only one defeat in the last four league games. But FC is still missing victories. With just one win in eleven games, Cologne is currently in 17th place.
