Post!

Following a corner, Querfeld rises highest, forcing Schwäbe into making an excellent save, pushing the ball onto the post.
66'

Union growing into the game

Burcu is involved straight away, dribbling past his marker before whipping in a delightful cross, which is cleared. But that's more promising from the visitors.
64'

First Union change

Burcu replaces Jeong in attack, who has rarely had a touch of the ball.
58'

Cologne first to blink

Kwasniok introduces Bülter in place of Ache in attack.
57'

Resilient Union

Cologne continue to dominate possession but other than their two shots on target in the first-half, they have nothing to show for it as Union remain compact at the back.

Over from Burke

Cologne clear the corner but it only goes as far as Burke on the edge of the box. The Scottish forward unleashes a half-volley but it sails high over the crossbar.

Over the top

Rønnow collects the ball and launches another Union counter-attack as the visitors look to utilise their pace in behind. This time, Lund defends well against Burke.

A familiar story

Half-time: Cologne 0-0 Union

For all of Cologne's possession, they have nothing to show for it as Union sit in a low block, limiting the hosts to shooting from distance. Kamiński has been Cologne's brightest player, testing Rønnow twice.

Opening goal eludes Cologne

Kamiński cuts inside from left, travelling in field, he finds Sebulonsen on the right but his cross is cleared behind for a corner, which amounts to nothing. Despite the hosts trumping Union in possession and shots, it's been a comfortable afternoon for Rønnow.

Captain booked

Kamiński progresses the ball down Cologne's left, but, after cutting inside, is stopped in his tracks by Trimmel, who brings the Pole down.

Hosts show intent

Cologne press Union high up the pitch which forces Doekhi into a turnover. Recycling possession, the hosts continue to see more of the ball.

Cleared

The resulting free-kick is chipped in by Jóhannesson, but Doekhi heads the ball behind for a corner, which amounts to nothing.

Union go direct

As Union look to enter the Cologne penalty area, Ilyas Ansah is denied by Rav van den Berg. It's been a scrappy opening few exchanges, with neither side able to keep hold of the ball.

Kwasniok voices respect for Baumgart

Lukas Kwasniok has not only succeeded Steffen Baumgart in the Cologne hotseat, he was also his direct replacement at Paderborn in 2021. He says: "Our contact is limited, just like with the other coaches. We exchange information during matches. I found it remarkable how he passed the baton to me back then in Paderborn. He is a good bloke."
camera-photo

Baumgart back

The Union coach is making an emotional return to Cologne, where he wore his trademark flat cap between 2021 and 2023, taking the Billy Goats into the UEFA Conference League after finishing seventh in his first season in charge. He says: "Anyone who knows what a great time I had in Cologne knows how much I love going back. I had a wonderful, emotional and successful time there."

Martel on facing Union

“It will be very difficult against Union. Everyone who has played against Union knows how hard they are to break down and how unpleasant they are to play against. It will be a serious challenge for us.”

Eric Martel on Cologne going five matches without a win

The Cologne defender told the Bundesliga: “It is difficult to get wins in the Bundesliga. Of course, we would have wished to get at least one or two wins in the last five matches, but there are phases where you have to wait a bit longer. The most important thing is getting out of that phase again. That shows your strength of a team.”

Lukas Kwasniok on facing Union

"Union have become more stable since Steffen Baumgart took over. They comfortably avoided relegation last season, and they're continuing that form this season. They've returned to their former strengths. 'Baumi' has adapted somewhat to the club. They're a team that can hurt the top sides."

Steffen Baumgart on facing Cologne

"Everyone knows what a great time I had in charge of Cologne - that stays with you - but I'm focused on us and I've seen improvement from the boys of late. Now we've got another difficult game. I'm pretty sure they're one of those teams that you can't prepare for 100 per cent because Lukas [Kwasniok] comes up with something new for every opponent and every task, but I'm not going to give anything away about our line-up."

Star man

Cologne's Saïd El Mala has been a whirlwind on the left wing for Effzeh this term, the Germany U21 international scoring six goals and providing two assists for Lukas Kwasniok's side.

Giant killers

Union have picked up more than half of their points this season (10 out of 18) against the current top seven teams in the table. Last weekend's 3-1 victory against RB Leipzig followed wins against Stuttgart (2-1) and Eintracht Frankfurt (4-3), while the Irons were the first Bundesliga team to take a point from Bayern Munich (2-2) this term.

Hosts in need of lift

After a bright start to the season, the recently promoted Billy Goats have now gone five Bundesliga matches without a win, managing only two points during that run.

Watch: Cologne 3-2 Union - previous meeting

Cologne turned the tables on Union back in April 2024, but the win wasn't enough to stave off relegation to the second tier. It was their only win in 10 Bundesliga meetings with Union, who've won seven of the other nine (two draws).
