On Friday, March 15th, the 26th round of the German Bundesliga kicks off. Cologne will host RB Leipzig at their home ground, with the match set to start at 8:30 PM Central European Time.
Köln
The team currently resides in the lower part of the Bundesliga table, with only 18 points after 25 rounds, placing them in 16th position. They trail the 15th spot, which ensures safety, by seven points, and are only two points clear of the relegation zone. In their last five matches, Köln has failed to secure a victory, suffering two defeats and settling for three draws.
RB Leipzig
The team is currently battling for a spot in the UEFA Champions League zone. Leipzig occupies the fifth position with 46 points after 25 Bundesliga matches. Their deficit behind the fourth spot is minimal - just one point - making a victory in this game crucial for Red Bull. In their previous matches, Leipzig has won three times, lost once, and drawn once. It's worth noting that the draw occurred in the UEFA Champions League second-leg match against Real Madrid, where the German team was eliminated by the Spanish giants with an aggregate score of 1-2.
