More on Heidenheim's team
Heidenheim have looked surprisingly settled for a team that were supposed to be fightin for survival, with the team underpinned by new USMNT international Lennard Maloney. Jan-Niklas Beste, owner of five goals and seven assists in the Hinrunde, is fit again.
More on Cologne's team
New manager Timo Schultz has stuck with 19-year-old Max Finkgräfe at left-back ahead of the veteran Dominique Heintz in the continued absence of Leart Paqarada. Captain Florian Kainz is restored to the flank, having been used as a No.10 by Schultz's predecessor, Steffen Baumgart.
