- 10' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His 1. FC Union Berlin side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.

- 50' Sven Michel is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for 1. FC Köln tonight.
- 55' 1. FC Köln is showing some good football. However, 1. FC Köln are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
