Union Berlin vs Cologne Preview: Recent Form, News, and Possible Lineups
This is an interesting matchup, so make sure to check our preview of both teams ahead of it, including our predicted Union Berlin vs Cologne lineups:
Union Berlin
After a great string of wins and good results, Union Berlin failed to win in the last two games. Just when they were in a position to take the top spot, they failed to beat Schalke at home in a scoreless duel and then lost to Bayern Munich, who is once again leading the league after that result. Still, Union Berlin is three points behind Bayern in the title race, so they are still pretty much in it.
When it comes to team news, only Andras Schafer is currently on Union Berlin's injury list, while the rest of the team is in good shape.
Union Berlin Predicted Lineup:
Ronnow – Doekhi, Knoche, Leite – Trimmel, Laidouni, Khedira, Thorsby, Roussillon – Becker, Behrens
Cologne
In the last six games in Bundesliga, Cologne has two losses, three draws, and just one win. The team has clearly struggled a bit recently and they are currently sitting in the lower half of the standings. Despite that, FC Cologne is still far from being in any danger as they have seven points more than the first team in the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, the team is struggling with injuries as well right now, with Florian Dietz, Mark Uth, Jan Thielmann, Kristian Pedersen, Sebastian Andersson, and Luca Kilian all on the sidelines and Denis Huseinbasic, Florian Kainz, and Benno Schmitz questionable.
Cologne Predicted Lineup:
Schwabe – Schindler, Hubers, Chabot, Hector – Ljubicic, Olesen, Skhiri, Maina – Selke, Tigges

Player to Watch: Sheraldo Becker
While this can be a close duel, we still expect Union Berlin to win this game and that's why our player to watch is Sheraldo Becker, their main goalscorer this season.
The forward from Suriname currently has seven goals and four assists in Bundesliga in twenty two appearances and Cologne will have to pay special attention to him in this match.
