WHAT A CHANCE FOR DUDA!

Cologne break right at the end with Andersson down the right. He's into the box and fires at goal, only for Gulacsi to make the save. But the ball rolls across goal and Duda is there in front of goal and surely has to score, but he miscues and sends the ball into the grateful hands of Gulacsi. What an incredible chance to win this game at the death!

HUGE CHANCE FOR SZOBO!

Leipzig push forward again and Szoboszlai is slid in on goal. Horn is off his line and parries his attempted lob wide. Was that the final chance?

NKUNKU AGAIN!

Leipzig are piling on the pressure here as a long ball forward is headed back down by Simakan for Poulsen to strike at goal, but it's straight at Horn and Nkunku heads the rebound wide from in front of goal.
81'

SUPERB DEFENDING!

Nkunku is played in on goal and looks destined to score, but Ehizibue does superbly to race back and slide in before he shoots and clear the ball away.

SZOBO CLOSE AGAIN!

The Hungarian latches onto a pass across the edge of the Cologne area before moving inside on his right and firing at goal. Horn is down well to save and gathers the rebound ahead of Simakan.

LEIPZIG ON TOP

The away side are moving through the gears now, unlocking the Cologne defence more and more with some of the home players looking a little tired. This is going to be a dramatic final 15 minutes!
73'

SO CLOSE FROM NKUNKU!

The away side have found a second wind here and fly forward once again. It's Nkunku and Gvardiol who exchange passes on the counter before Nkunku fires low at goal. This one is blocked behind off a defender.
71'

HAIDARA HEADS HOME!

That one will count and Leipzig are level in Cologne. It's a fantastic corner from Szoboszlai to the near post, and Haidara is on hand to head home off the upright to silence the home crowd. Game on now!

DOUBLE CHANGE

Fresh legs on for Cologne as goalscorer Modeste is off for Andersson, while Ehizibue is on for Uth.
66'

NO FORSBERG GOAL!

Leizpig think they're level through Forsberg after he curls home following fine dribbling in the Cologne area from Nkunku. But the Swede is in an offside position when he takes the ball from Nkunku, and the goal is ruled out. The second of the game for Leipzig.

BIG MISS FROM POULSEN!

Another golden opportunity for Leipzig as Forsberg latches onto a loose ball on the edge of the Cologne area and finds Poulsen in space at the back post. He controls and shoots, but drags his shot wide of goal.
65'

HUGE CHANCE FOR FORSBERG!

A corner curls into the middle from Szoboszlai and Gvardiol leaps to head it. He glances the ball to the back post where Forsberg is alone, but he can only hit the ball into the grateful hands of Horn.

CLOSE AGAIN!

Modeste is almost there for a second goal as Thielmann crosses to the back post, but Klostermann makes a timely intervention with his head just in front of the Frenchman who was waiting to head home from close range.

LOOKING FOR A SPARK

It's been a slow second half so far for Leipzig, and Marsch's side are looking for patience here and time on the ball.
57'

DOUBLE CHANGE!

Immediately Marsch switches things up, with Poulsen and Forsberg on for Silva and Olmo.
57'

GOAL GIVEN! COLOGNE LEAD!

After a check from Felix Brych, Modeste's goal stands and Cologne are ahead. Uth challenge Simakan as he attempted to clear the ball but Brych ruled that it was not enough to warrant a foul, and the hosts are in front.
54'

MODESTE DENIED AGAIN!

Incredible stuff here as another goal for Modeste is ruled out. His second, Cologne's third and the fourth of the game. This one is pulled back for a foul from Uth on Simakan as he attempted to clear the ball form his own area, with the ball subsequently dropping to Modeste to smash into the top corner. VAR will check.

MODESTE OFFSIDE!

Cologne think they have taken the lead but for the second time, a goal is ruled out for offside for the hosts. This time it's Modeste who is offside as he collects a pass from Duda in the Leipzig area before slotting past Gulacsi.
49'

DUDA ON TARGET!

Big chance for Cologne on the break with Duda found in space on the left side of the Leipzig area by Modeste. He turns back onto his right to shoot at goal, but Gulacsi makes a fine save to parry the ball wide.
48'

SO CLOSE FOR KLOSTERMANN!

Leipzig should really be ahead as a Leipzig corner causes panic in the Cologne area. Gvardiol is able to keep the ball in play with a header, and the ball bounces in front of goal before coming to Klostermann just eight yards out, but he fires a low shot across goal and wide.

DEFENDING STRONGLY

Leipzig are finding space in central positions with Olmo and Szoboszlai, but the Cologne defence is standing firm when those players do come forward with the ball. Just two shots on target so far for Leipzig.
37'

COLOGNE DENIED!

Uth has the ball in the Leipzig net but the goal is ruled out for offside, the second of the goal already. Modeste is slid in behind by Duda but is offside when the ball is played before he cuts it across for Uth to smash home.

KEEPING THE PRESSURE ON

Leipzig are seeing plenty more possession now, with Cologne's press slowing slightly. The away side passing well and looking to move forward in numbers, but the chances have slowed down in recent minutes.

Czichos comes after already picking up a yellow card and conceding further fouls, with Mere on in his place.

He's been key so far and fires at goal from 20 yards from a central position. It deflects off Czichos' back and behind this time, but Leipzig are pushing hard for an opening goal here.
24'

CLOSE AGAIN!

Olmo threads a fantastic through-ball behind the Cologne defence, but Szoboszlai hesitates to go for it thinking the ball was too heavily hit. In the end, he may well have been able to reach it ahead of Horn, but the goalkeeper gathers it.
22'

INTENSE GAME HERE!

Leipzig are pushing forward most here, but Cologne are matching them well and are not letting themselves lag far behind. With the likes of Szosboszlai, Nkunku and Olmo all on the pitch, Leipzig have so much creative potential.
18'

WHAT A STRIKE SZOBOSZLAI!

Almost another stunning goal from Leipzig's No.17 who steps up to a free-kick 30 yards from goal and unleashes a precision-hit rocket bound for the top corner. Horn is across his goal and pushes it away to his right.

Cologne respond fantastically here as Duda smashes the post with a sensational volley. A corner was cleared to the edge of the Leipzig area and it's flicked over to the right where Duda is free and he smashes a volley at goal from the corner of the box, but it bounces back out off the post. What a goal that would've been!
10'

SILVA TAKES TOO LONG

Leipzig break again down the left this time, with Szoboszlai sending Gvardiol away with a quick free-kick. The left-back does well to turn back and find a pass to Silva in front of goal, but his first touch his heavy and allows the Cologne defence to chase back and clear before he can shoot.
8'

OFF THE POST!

Leipzig are coming closer and closer here. Nkunku is afforded so much time as he runs as the Cologne goal through the middle. He curls a shot at goal from all of 20 yards out which leaves Horn stranded, but he is saved by the ball bouncing out off the post.
6'

LEIPZIG DENIED!

The ball is in the Cologne net, but the home fans can breath as the offside is correctly raised on the near side. Nkunku did superbly to get forward down the right through two challenges before finding Silva on the edge, and he laid the before forward for Szoboszlai to slot home. But the Hungarian was inches offside, which a check from VAR confirms.

FELIX BRYCH IN CHARGE

Cologne are winless in eight Bundesliga matches with referee Dr. Felix Brych in charge (3 draws, 5 defeats). Leipzig, meanwhile, have suffered only one defeat in 10 Bundesliga matches with him, but there were also only three victories in that time.

WATCH: GETTING WARM!

Both sides are out and warming up in the Cologne sunshine, for what is sure to be a fiery evening.

TIME FOR LEIPZIG TO COME ALIVE?

Despite their big win over VfB Stuttgart on Matchday 2, Leipzig have made their worst ever start to a Bundesliga season with three defeats in the opening four games. Die Roten Bullen conceded a league-low 32 Bundesliga goals in 2020/21 but have already shipped six in four so far this term.

THE BAUMGART BOOM!

Cologne head coach Steffen Baumgart has overseen half as many wins after four rounds of fixtures at the Cologne helm as he did across the entire 2019/20 Bundesliga campaign as Paderborn coach. The Billy Goats have made their best start to a Bundesliga season since 2015/16 (also seven points between Matchdays 1-4).

COLOGNE TEAM NEWS

Skhiri missed last weekend because of a cold, but is back as usual to anchor the midfield. Baumgart is forced another change, though, with Kainz suspended after his red card in Freiburg. Thielmann comes in for him after missing the last two outings with illness himself. There's also a first start for Kilian for Cologne.

LEIPZIG TEAM NEWS

Nkunku continues in the trio behind Silva alongside Szoboszlai and Olmo after his Champions League hat-trick, with Forsberg on the bench. Adams is on the bench with Haidara preferred in Jesse Marsch's midfield. Simakan and Gvardiol are also into a defence that is still finding its identity after big-name summer departures.

BAUMGART: "LEIPZIG HAVE A LOT OF QUALITY AND PACE"

"Leipzig are very aggressive when it comes to counter-pressing", said Baumgart at his media briefing before the game. "They press high and get a lot of joy through second balls. I expect a game with a high intensity. Leipzig have a lot of quality and pace; they are one of the best teams in the Bundesliga. They conceded a lot of goals against City and Bayern. But have also lost narrowly. Leipzig don't have a crisis in terms of performance, but results.”

MARSCH: "WE HAVE TO SHOW FIGHT"

"Cologne are a strong side who like a real battle," said Leipzig coach Marsch at his pre-match press conference. "They’ve started really well this season. For us, the situation is clear. We haven’t begun the way we had hoped. The lads will stay strong though. You have to show more fight during tough situations, run harder and win more challenges. The mood in camp is still positive."

HEAD TO HEAD

Cologne won this fixture 2-1 on Matchday 30 last season, the result giving the side a huge confidence boost in their ultimately successful bid to avoid relegation. That was just their second victory in eight top-flight meetings to date against Leipzig, who have taken maximum points on four occasions (two draws).

FORM - COLOGNE

In stark contrast to their visitors, Cologne have enjoyed a better start in terms of results under new boss Steffen Baumgart. Victories over Hertha Berlin and Bochum sandwiched a defeat away to Bayern, but they picked up a point away to Freiburg last week to come into the matchday in seventh place.

WATCH: LEIPZIG 1-4 BAYERN MUNICH

FORM - LEIPZIG

Die Roten Bullen haven't quite hit their stride under new coach Jesse Marsch, losing three of their four Bundesliga games so far; last week's 4-1 reverse at home to Bayern Munich was followed up by a 6-3 defeat away to Manchester City in the Champions League on Wednesday. Chrisopher Nkunku hit a hat-trick in that game, but summer signing Andre Silva only has one goal to his name so far. Can Leipzig turn things around here?
