  • 0' In just a few seconds Donaustadion will turn into a battlefield for SSV Ulm 1846 and 1. FC Koln.
  • 5' 1. FC Koln have won 348 goals from 399 games. They will be desperate to add to that tally today.
  • 10' Max Finkgrafe, a Germany , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 15' Florian Kainz has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
  • 20' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering SSV Ulm 1846 that had 200 games and scored 48 goals.
  • 25' The 27-year-old Dennis Dressel has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 30' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Timo Hubers suffering a number of foals already.
  • 35' Max Brandt has been relatively quiet despite scoring 0 goals in his last 3 appearances.
  • 40' Dejan Ljubicic has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 0 appearances with only 1 goals this season.

  • 70' Thomas Geyer gets the nod from SSV Ulm 1846. He replaces Lennart Stoll and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 75' SSV Ulm 1846 started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 75.

  • 81' Fresh legs for 1. FC Koln! Dominique Heintz comes on to replace Joel Schmied.
