Hoffenheim and Köln will hope to return to winning ways before October’s international break. The hosts drew with Freiburg a week after a customary defeat to the Rekordmeister. Köln only picked up a single point from the last three games following an excellent start to the campaign.
Tim Lemperle, who scored a couple of goals and registered an assist in his first four Bundesliga games for Hoffenheim, will face his former club. Köln’s Jakub Kaminski has a similar effect at his new club as he scored in three of the last four games. Said El Mala gets his first league start for the visitors.
Here are the two lineups as picked by Christian Ilzer and Lukas Kwasniok.
