I've seen first-hand what happens when we win, and how the city celebrates if we win. We want us all to be able to celebrate a derby victory on Sunday."</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/9/imago1084273585h.jpg?crop=375px%2C250px%2C3225px%2C2150px" alt="Alexander Blessin on facing Cologne"/><figcaption><strong>Alexander Blessin on facing Cologne</strong> "There is plenty of cause for optimism. We obviously know what to expect, particularly when it comes to the stadium and the atmosphere. We want to approach the game with a positive mindset. We're aware that we can make a big difference [with a good result] in this one game."</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/2/2526_MD27_KOEBMG_PB_335.jpg?crop=0px,0px,3608px,2404px" alt="Gladbach have upper hand in recent games"/><figcaption><strong>Gladbach have upper hand in recent games</strong> In the last few meetings, Gladbach have generally performed well. They have lost just one of the last six Rhine derbies, winning two and drawing three. The Foals have also won more and scored more goals against Cologne than any other opponent in the Bundesliga.</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/8/2627_MD03_KOESVW_LS_245.JPG?crop=0px,0px,5000px,3333px" alt="Cologne's own defensive woes"/><figcaption><strong>Cologne's own defensive woes</strong> The Billy Goats have also had their issues at the back. They have now conceded at least once in each of their past 18 games, just three short of the all-time club record of 21. Their last clean sheet came in January against now-relegated Wolfsburg.</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/8/imago1083493492h.jpg?crop=0px,55px,3600px,2401px" alt="Defensive issues"/><figcaption><strong>Defensive issues</strong> Blessin's first problem to solve will be Gladbach's leaky defence. For the first time in their Bundesliga history, they have conceded 16 goals after their opening four matches of the season, and they will be eager to avoid setting a unwanted new club record of conceding at least three times in their first five games.</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/8/imago1083682220h.jpg?crop=0px,0px,6000px,4000px" alt="Positive Blessin omen"/><figcaption><strong>Positive Blessin omen</strong> Blessin will be the first Gladbach head coach to have a Rhine derby as his first outing. However, he can take solace in the fact that only one permanent Gladbach head coach appointment has lost their first game in charge (Bernd Krauss in 1992).</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/9/imago0007670986h.jpg?crop=0px,68px,3543px,2359px" alt="Gladbach looking to draw on positive history"/><figcaption><strong>Gladbach looking to draw on positive history</strong> The Foals could use 2010/11 to inspire them against their rivals here. In both games between the teams that term, they entered the game in last place, yet won 4-0 and 5-1 to take bragging rights. Marco Reus netted a brace in the latter.</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/9/imago1084130563h.jpg?crop=0px,0px,5586px,3724px" alt="Blessin to start his reign"/><figcaption><strong>Blessin to start his reign</strong> Following Eugen Polanski's dismissal, former St. Pauli head coach has been appointed as Gladbach's new permanent head coach. "I want to turn this difficult time into a good one. And I see the team as having more potential. It has that," he said upon his unveiling.</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/8/imago1082118719h.jpg?crop=0px,0px,6000px,4000px" alt="One win between them"/><figcaption><strong>One win between them</strong> This has been a difficult start to the season for both teams. Gladbach are yet to pick up a single point this term, losing all four matches. While Cologne have at least won once, on the opening day of the term, they have managed just one point since. Victory for either here could be the confidence boost they are desperate for.</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/8/imago1083489341h.jpg?crop=0px,0px,3000px,2000px" alt="Moore captains England U20s"/><figcaption><strong>Moore captains England U20s</strong> Cologne's Mikey Moore made his maiden England U20 appearances over the international break and was immediately entrusted with the captaincy. A decision that was quickly rewarded as Moore bagged goals against both Italy and France.</figcaption></figure><figure><img src="https://assets.bundesliga.com/contender/2026/9/imago1084076251h.jpg?crop=0px,0px,5015px,3344px" alt="Injury woe for Cologne "/><figcaption><strong>Injury woe for Cologne </strong> In a friendly against local rivals Viktoria Cologne (2-2), Thijs Dallinga suffered an ACL injury and will be out for several months. Fellow forward Ragnar Ache also picked up a muscle injury and will therefore be miss the Rhine derby against Gladbach.</figcaption></figure><p><strong>Hello and welcome!</strong> Welcome along and thanks for joining us for build-up and live coverage of this Matchday 5 fixture between Cologne and Borussia Mönchengladbach.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
