Crunch time in the relegation battle: Why Cologne vs. Werder Bremen is a crucial match
Cologne will be desperate to avoid an immediate return to Bundesliga 2 having won the division in 2024/25, while Bremen would be equally devastated by relegation after being in contention for European qualification in the past couple of seasons.
The Billy Goats will have home advantage for this business-end encounter, or will they? They’ve won just four of 14 games on home turf so far this campaign, drawing four and losing six.
Home or away, the Rhineland club are also winless in eight games, with their last three all finishing in draws.
That said, Cologne have faced RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, TSG Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt in recent weeks - all teams in the top seven.
And they showed real spirit to hit back from 2-0 down to draw with Frankfurt in interim coach René Wagner's first game following Lukas Kwasniok's dismissal.
Watch: Cologne drew in Frankfurt last weekend
