Koln will host Wolfsburg at the RheinEnergieStadion on Saturday (February 25) in the Bundesliga.
The hosts enjoyed a strong return to action after the winter break, shaking off their sluggish finish to 2022. Koln, though, lost 3-0 to struggling Stuttgart in their last league outing, falling behind in the opening ten minutes and failing to find their way back. Koln are 12th in the league table with 26 points from 21 games.
Wolfsburg, meanwhile, have hit a rough patch recently, consequently falling behind in the race for European football, with manager Niko Kovac now under pressure to deliver results. They lost 3-0 to RB Leipzig in their last game and were perhaps fortunate not to have lost by a larger margin, as they were repeatedly carved open by their opponents.
The visitors sit seventh in the Bundesliga standings with 30 points from 21 games.
