After more than 10 years of absence, Arminia Bielefeld finally returned to the Bundesliga last year thanks to its excellent season in the 2nd division, ahead of all its competitors, starting with its runner-up, Stuttgart. In contrast, the promoted alternated between good and bad over the summer and posted a record of 3 wins against small teams, two draws, and one loss. Defeated by the modest regional club Rot-Weiss Essen in the German Cup (1-0), the Bielefeldois were still looking for a point on the field of Eintracht Frankfurt (1-1) last weekend.
For its part, Cologne must confirm a final correct season in the elite for a promoted. Indeed, after being relegated in 2017-2018, the Goats reacted well and went straight back to the Bundesliga where they ranked 14th with 6 units ahead of the first relegated. Interesting in preparation and in the German Cup where they had no trouble dominating the small club of Altglienicke, they, however, fell from the start at home against Hoffenheim (2-3) at the very end of the game.
Staff for Arminia Bielefeld vs Cologne
This summer, Arminia Bielefeld separated from full-backs Jonathan Clauss (Lens) and Hartherz (Dynamo Dresden) but brought forward Cordova (Augsburg), Japanese winger Ritsu Doan (PSV Eindhoven) on loan. The leaders also enlisted Mouscron’s right-back from Medina and Swansea defender van der Hoorn. On top of that, the very important Klos (21 goals last year) and Voglsammer (12 goals) extended the adventure. On the other hand, the last city is still on the flank just like the titular midfielder Yabo.
Loaned to Paris FC last year, Vincent Koziello joined Nacional in Portugal. The most important strikers Terrode and Cordoba also left in the direction of Hamburg and Hertha respectively, who instead transferred their Czech international Duda to Cologne. In the opposite direction, the Swedish striker Andersson is the major recruit of this formation. This one has already scored on Saturday against Hoffenheim. Apart from that, the team’s captors like the very promising central defender Bornauw, solid midfielders Drexler, Kainz, and Hector are still present. Still injured, Anthony Modeste is forfeited just like the important Jakobs, Schmitz, and Kaintz.
