The team of Markus Gisdol and the Nullfünfer showed no good football. There was a standstill in both penalty areas. Neither of the two basement kids wanted to make a mistake. After a quarter of an hour FSV-Schlussmann Zentner had to intervene for the first time. After that, nothing happened for a long time, until the first opportunity for the FSV by Mateta (41st). After the change of sides, the game continued as boring as it did at the start of the game. In the 55th minute, Rexhbecaj surprised the visitors with a 1-0 lead. Now the landlords were completely off track and were lucky that Duda and Rexhbecaj left their shooting possibilities unused (57.). As a result, the Rheinhessen remained safe towards the front. On the other hand, the cathedrals did not use their counters against Wolf and Modeste (72nd, 74th). Shortly afterwards Duda flew down with yellow-red (76.). Mainz again sensed the chance to equalize, but left opportunities of Quaison (81st) and Fernandes (85th) unused.
The Gisdol-Elf celebrated the second victory from the last three Bundesliga games (seven points). Prior to this series, FC remained defenceless for eight games (five bankruptcies, three draws). In their own four walls, the goats are still without victory this season (two draws, four bankruptcies). Only Schalke 04 and Mainz 05 are even weaker at home. With 13 home opponents, Cologne has the most shaky home defense. In the offensive, it doesn’t work that way after eleven match days (13 hits) – fourth weakest attack series in the upper house.
Jonas Hector and Florian Kainz will be out on Wednesday due to injury. Ondrej Duda is banned from the Rhine-Derby because of the dismissal in Mainz.

B04 started out like the fire brigade in a victory against Hoffenheim with the knowledge of the league leadership and went through Bailey with a 1-0 lead after just four minutes. Three minutes later, the striker pulled with his weaker right foot and missed the double blow (7th). The Kraichgauers only slowly came into the match against stormy landlords – Baumgartner failed due to B04-Keeper Hradecky (24th). A catastrophic missed pass from Kramaric brought Bayer 2-0 through Bailey (27th). The TSG missed the prompt response – Posch aimed too high (30th). Before the break, the Rhinelanders scored 3-0 by Wirtz, because Baumann reacted strongly (44th). In the second 45 minutes, the guests finally took advantage of one of their possibilities and reached 1-2 by Baumgartner (50th). For a long time, however, the joy at Hoffenheim did not last. Bayer quickly came 3-1 through Wirtz and restored the old distance (55.). The guests then weakened themselves – Grillitsch flew with yellow-red from the square (64th). Offensively, in 1899, nothing was added to the chain. Then Posch was sent to shower prematurely (79th, yellow-red). Leverkusen then made everything clear against eight field players and won 4-1 (91st) by Alario’s transformed penalty.
The Bosz team has not lost a single Bundesliga game this season and has won seven of the last eight games. The Werkself has won the last four away games and is still undefeated abroad. Only the first two guest games in Wolfsburg (0:0) and Stuttgart (1:1) could not be won. Only the climber from Stuttgart is better away. Together with Rhein-Rivale Köln you have the safest guest defence (4 goals). After the eleven match days, only RB Leipzig (nine goals conceded) defended better than B04 (10). The league leader scored 23 goals in this season. Only FC Bayern Munich and VfB networked more frequently.
Kerem Demirbay (Corona) is quarantined and will be out on Wednesday. Not injured on the square will be Sven Bender, Exequiel Palacios, Paulinho, Charles Aranguiz and Santiago Arias.
