FC Koln head into the first leg of their Europa Conference League playoff tie with Fehervar looking to build on their positive start to the new Bundesliga campaign.
Meanwhile, their Hungarian opponents make the trip to Germany having already prevailed through two rounds in this competition.
Match preview
Benno Schmitz could be restored at right-back but that could prove to be the only change to the team.
Kenan Kodro may miss out for the visitors after having to be withdrawn during the first half against Ferencvaros.
Budu Zivzivadze could take his place in attack, but with some players being well-rested after their half-time substitutions at the weekend, Boris may opt to retain the rest of his starting lineup.
FC Koln possible starting lineup:
Schwabe; Schmitz, Hubers, Kilian, Hector; Skhiri, Martel; Thielmann, Ljubicic, Kainz; Dietz
Fehervar possible starting lineup:
Kovacs; Fiota, Shabanov, Stopira; Nego, Bumba, Pinto, Heister; Dardai, Petryak; Zivzivadze
Having already been eliminated in Germany’s premier cup competition, FC Koln will be taking this tournament even more seriously. With that in mind, we expect a strong showing from the home side, one which may lead to the tie effectively being over before the reverse fixture in Hungary.
