Cologne fan fires up the players

Before kick-off, the Cologne players receive some motivation from a fan.

Cologne's U19s set the tone

Cologne's youngsters had reason to celebrate earlier today. Against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, the Billy Goats' U19s secured the championship title. It could be a big day of celebration in Cologne. However, the visitors from Kaiserslautern are also eyeing third place and the relegation play-off berth that goes with it.

Two changes for Lautern

The Palatinate side must do without Redondo (suspended due to yellow cards) and Yokota (not in the squad). Kleinhansl and Wekesser move into the starting lineup in their place.

Downs replaces Lemperle

Downs replaces Lemperle (bench) in attack for the Billy Goats. Otherwise, Funkel trusts the team that won in Nuremberg last week.

The stage is set

The stadium is slowly filling up. Can Lautern secure a place in the promotion play-off today?

Potential championship ceremony

If Cologne finish the season in first place, DFL Managing Director Marc Lenz will present the trophy after their match against Kaiserslautern on Sunday afternoon at the RheinEnergieSTADION. The Bundesliga 2 championship plate will therefore be present at the match in Cologne's stadium on Sunday and, depending on the outcome of the matches, will be transported to Hamburg in time for the handover on Monday.

Torsten Lieberknecht on facing Cologne

"Kaiserslautern owe Friedhelm Funkel a huge debt of gratitude. It will certainly be an emotional and special match. Not only in terms of the game itself, but also with everything surrounding it as well. Everyone is looking forward to it; we noticed that in training as well."

Friedhelm Funkel on facing FCK

Split allegiances

For Cologne boss Friedhelm Funkel, it will be a special encounter. The 71-year-old once played for Lautern, scoring 31 goals in 90 matches for the Red Devils. Last season too, Funkel took over Kaiserslautern as coach, keeping them in the league and leading them to the DFB Cup final.

Home away from home

Lautern have picked up points in 16 out of their last 17 matches in Cologne.

A rare three points

Cologne won the reverse fixture 1-0 at the Betzenberg earlier in the season. It was Cologne's third victory in the last 36 encounters with Lautern.

Cologne to lose U17 World Champion

A top talent is leaving Cologne: U17 World Champion Justin von der Hitz will transfer to Nuremberg in the summer, leaving behind the Billy Goats' U19 team.

Hosts likely without top scorer

Will Cologne have to do without their top scorer in the 'promotion decider' against Kaiserslautern next Sunday? The Billy Goats confirmed on Monday via their official channels that Tim Lemperle suffered facial injuries in a violent attack last weekend and is likely to miss the encounter on Matchday 34.
