Today cologne miss a few important players. Sinkewicz is suspended,Scherz (C),Mitreski,Baykal all injured. In cologne are some trouble with Coach Christoph Daum. He said that he´ll leave the club after the next season when Cologne doesn´t climbe up into the first league again. The Cologne Chairman said he has to decide till the end of the week if he wanna stay with Cologne or if he wanna better go! Daum decided that he´s with the club.
Duisburg on the 3rd have the same points than Furth (4th) and Freiburg (5th) and only the better goal balance is making them to a climber at the moment. With a victory versus Cologne today they can go infront and leave the other two possible climbers with 3 points behind. Cause Furth and Freiburg lost in this round at home. It´ll be the best Chance for Duisburg to get some space between their and the others.
