The guests easily combine to the front via the left side. In the end, Kainz, who is in good form, comes to flank unchallenged, but aims far too high. The ball sails high over the targeted Ljubicic.

Cologne chooses the way over the wings again today. Elvedi clears a Hector cross from the left at the first post and the Foals are also on the post in the following corner.

The hosts defend today in the classic 4-4-2. Christoph Kramer moves to the front line next to Marcus Thuram. The 2014 world champion was able to shine in the unusually offensive role in the last home game and win Gladbach 3-0.

Ramy Bensebaini takes over the subsequent standard from a promising position. The full-back tries a flick over the wall with his left instep. From about 20 meters, however, he gets stuck on the wall.

Kainz fouls Scally, who has moved up a lot, half left in front of the FC penalty area and sees the yellow card for the hard entry.

Marcus Thuram fuels his way into the penalty area on the left and looks for a shot from an acute angle. Schwäbe is against the attempt of the tunnel but on the post and thwarts the first VfL chance.

Cologne makes a really good impression in the first few minutes and ensures that the game is mainly in the Borussia half.

The intensity is extremely high from the first second. The fans also cheer loudly. So the derby offers the hoped-for match right from the start.

First little excitement! Hübers actually wants to return a deep pass from Stindl to Schwäbe in a relaxed manner. However, the keeper rushed out of his box and from his point of view the ball passed him to the right. Luckily, Hübers stays in action and, despite the pressure from the opponent, is able to clear the ball to the side before the baseline.

Here we go! Duda toasts for the guests, who are all in red. Borussia holds against it in the usual white jerseys.

The Rhenish derby has already offered some hot matches and, above all, a lot of goals. The last zero between the two traditional clubs was in September 2014. Both teams have scored at least once in the last five meetings. For 1. FC Köln even something historical is possible today, because they have not yet managed three away wins against Gladbach.
15:13
In the case of Cologne, the initial formation from the 3-2 win against BVB gets confidence again. After the total rotation on the international stage, Steffen Baumgart changes back, so to speak.
15:08
After the beating against Bremen, Daniel Farke decided not to make any changes and sent the same starting XI onto the pitch for the third time in a row. Alassane Pléa also returns to the squad for the first time since the fifth matchday after recovering from injury.
15:01
The current mood at 1. FC Köln can hardly be topped. The Billy Goats lost 1-0 to Partizan in the Europa Conference League, but things are going much better in the league. The Cologne team had to admit defeat once in eight matches and always show great morale. FC have already scored points five times after falling behind. Most recently, that even worked against Borussia Dortmund. Accordingly, the Cologne team travel with confidence and want to win two league games in a row for the first time this season.

Compensation is announced for Borussia Mönchengladbach in the derby. The Foals suffered a 5-1 defeat against Werder Bremen last weekend and now want to show that it was just a slip-up. With a three, they could also overtake FC in the table and jump up to sixth place. But they have to finally win a derby again. The last three duels were all won by the Domstädter. There have only been four derby bankruptcies in a row for the team from the Lower Rhine in the early 1980s. From a Borussia point of view, there is a lot at stake today.

Hello and welcome to the 95th Rhein-Derby in the Bundesliga. Borussia Mönchengladbach hosts 1. FC Köln. The game on the ninth day of the game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. in Borussia Park.
