Hosts out of ideas
Münster are not getting near the goal anymore, Cologne are comfortably managing their lead.

49'
What do the visitors have to offer?
Cologne's top scorers have been largely kept quiet so far. Tim Lemperle and Linton Maina have rarely been on the ball (14 and 20 times respectively). Lemperle is yet to have a shot on goal, while Maina only managed his first attempt in stoppage time.

Too late

Too easy
Waldschmidt plays the ball from the right to the near post, but Schenk is there to collect it.

Blocked
The Prussians try with several attempts on goal, but each time a Cologne player gets in the way. Even Németh's powerful shot doesn't get through.

Kick-off!

Kick-off!
Uth back in the squad
Mark Uth is back in the Cologne squad for the first time in more than three months. On 10 August in Elversberg, he had to be substituted off just six minutes after coming on due to adductor problems. Since then, he has only played twice for the reserve team in the regional league.
Another clean sheet?

Kick-off delayed by 15 minutes
The kick-off has been postponed by 15 minutes by the police due to the delayed arrival of FC fans travelling by train.
Preußen's attacking change
The hosts' starting eleven is different in just one position compared to the side that started the draw in Karlsruhe on the last matchday, Németh getting the nod ahead of Grodowski.
One change for Cologne
Compared to the last league match, there is one switch for the visitors. Thielmann is on the bench with Ljubicic given the nod in his stead. Waldschmidt occupies the vacant spot in attacking midfield.
Münster's starting XI
Schenk - ter Horst, Koulis, Frenkert, Kirkeskov - Hendrix, Preisinger - Bouchama, Mees, Makridis - Németh

Struber's view on Münster

Preußen returnees
Münster can once again rely on Amenyido, Bazzoli, Kyerewaa and Németh.
Hildmann's view on Cologne
"Cologne are in good form having won their last three matches. They've slightly changed their system and are playing very offensively. We don't want to let that develop and we want to bring our cauldron of noise with us. We need to get into the challenges and put up a fight."

Downs on fire
Cologne with three consecutive victories
Effzeh recently bounced back after two defeats with a series of wins: recently a 1-0 against Fürth, previously another 1-0 away at Hertha, and before that a 3-0 in the DFB Cup against Bundesliga side Kiel.
Münster unbeaten in four matches
Preußen drew three times during this run, most recently 1-1 at KSC. Before that, they secured a 1-0 victory against Düsseldorf – proving Münster can handle top opponents.
Classic rivalry
Before the Bundesliga was founded, Preußen and Cologne regularly faced each other in the Oberliga.
No further matches
Since those encounters, the two traditional clubs have never met again in a competitive match, and they have never been drawn against each other in the DFB Cup.
What happened back then?

First time in a long time
Preußen Münster and Colgone are playing in the same league for the first time in 61 years: in 1963/64, the two clubs were founding members of the Bundesliga - Cologne became champions and Münster were relegated as the second-to-last team and never promoted back to the Bundesliga.
