On the 1st of October, Köln hosts Greuther Fürth in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Bundesliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Köln sits at 7th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. Ellyes Skhiri struck first for Köln in the 14th minute on a feed from Jonas Hector, then in the 6th minute of the first half’s stoppage time, Filip Kostić sent in a beautiful pass which was converted by Rafael Santos Borré squeezing out at least the one point for Eintracht Frankfurt. Köln is looking for direction having earned 13 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, Greuther Fürth recorded a 1-3 loss against Bayern München. Thomas Müller struck first for Bayern München in the 10th minute, then Joshua Kimmich added another in the 31st minute on a feed from Leroy Sané.
