After unsatisfactory results recently, a sense of achievement at 1. FC Köln is a must. New signing Gruda is seen as a beacon of hope.

RB Leipzig are losing too many points against teams at the bottom of the table in the battle for a Champions League place. That should change today at 1. FC Köln (3.30pm/Dazn). However, coach Ole Werner's team must regain more clarity in their own actions and not let their opponents back into the game through careless ball losses, the soccer coach demanded.

The fact that RB have never lost a game against a newly promoted team in 33 wins and five draws provides hope in Cologne. And new signing Bajan Gruda. The loanee from Brigthon is fully fit and is an option for all plans. Even a starting eleven appearance is possible, said Werner, who sees the former Mainz player primarily in the eighth or tenth position.
