Cologne ghost game in the Fritz-Walter Stadium: Who secures the points?

On Sunday, December 22, 2024, an exciting duel in the Fritz Walter Stadium is on the program when 1. FC Köln competes against 1. FC Kaiserslautern. The game will kick off at 1:30 p.m. and promises a lot of action. The team of coach Markus Beginning, the FCK, has already climbed sixth place in the second Bundesliga with 26 points this season. After a disappointing departure in the DFB Cup, where they stroked the sails in the second round, they recently missed a few points in the league by draw against 1. FC Magdeburg and the 1. FC Nürnberg, followed by three victories against Eintracht Braunschweig, FC Schalke 04 and the Karlsruher SC. Unfortunately, on the last match day, they had to give up 1: 5 against SV Darmstadt 98, which puts the moral of the team to the test, as fc.de reports.

On the other side, the 1. FC Köln is in a dazzling form. After the victory in the DFB Cup against Holstein Kiel, the team has remained unbeaten for eight competitive games and has secured second place in the league with 28 points. In addition to FC Köln, the leaders Elversberg and third -placed Paderborn also share this score. Cologne not only has the opportunity to continue shining in the DFB Cup, but also fights for the leadership position in the league. This constellation goes hand in hand with a certain pressure, since the FC wants to continue to exist in the cup after reaching the quarter-finals, which is impressively emphasized by kicker.de
