Köln are coming off two recent 0-0 draws against Francfort and Schalke, including the one on 24 October 2026. Union drew 1-1 at Augsburg on 24 October and remain unbeaten in their last three Bundesliga matchdays, with five points and only one goal conceded.
Both teams have around three days of rest; Union must also travel from Augsburg to Cologne. The xG, shots and pressing are not comparable with the elements considered.
Union-Köln ended 2-2 on matchday 32 of the previous season. The historical record mentioned before the match is 10 wins for Union, six for Köln and four draws in 20 meetings across all competitions.
These references have limited prédictive valeur: the coaches, squads and context have changed, and the previous meeting was in the Bundesliga, not the cup.
Köln: Imad Rondić, Rav van den Berg, Thijs Dallinga, Ellyes Skhiri and Timo Hübers were announced as undergoing rehabilitation by René Wagner on October 26, 2026; Ragnar Ache's status still had to be decided on the morning of the match. Union announced the absences of Stanley Nsoki, Josip Juranović and Andrej Ilić.
Felix Uduokhai received a two-match suspension after his sending-off against Augsburg, but could still play this cup match according to the rbb report.
The match is the 2nd round of the DFB-Pokal, a knockout match for a place in the round of 16, at the RheinEnergieSTADION in Cologne on October 27, 2026. Köln scenario: direct play, runs in behind the défense and set pieces can exploit home advantage, especially if Köln improves its final pass and duels.
Union scenario: the desired continuity, high pressing and quick transitions can attack the spaces behind Köln's last line, particularly if the rehabilitation absences take their toll. In both cases, the absence of a verifiable official team sheet concerning the goalkeeper, central défense, Ache and the rotation severely limits the pre-match assessment.
