Marius Wolf could have new signings Max Meyer and Emmanuel Dennis for a company as Koln looks to leapfrog Arminia Bielefeld out of the relegation play-off spot on Sunday.
Meyer has joined Koln on a deal until the end of the season as they look to stave off relegation, and the former Crystal Palace and Schalke midfielder could be thrown straight into this six-pointer. He and Dennis - who has arrived on loan from Club Brugge - have both taken part in team training already. Their arrivals will be a boost to the Billy Goats as they sit 16th – just five points clear of the automatic drop zone and two from guaranteed safety.
Markus Gisdol’s side may have beaten Ruhr duo Borussia Dortmund and Schalke this season, but their only other win came against the team directly below them, Mainz. The 2-1 victory in Gelsenkirchen was the only time they’ve scored in the last seven fixtures. Striker Sebastian Andersson remains sidelined, while Anthony Modeste missed a penalty in last week’s 3-0 loss at Hoffenheim, son Dennis's arrival is particularly timely. Ellyes Skhiri is Koln's top scorer in the Bundesliga this season with three. Ondrej Duda is one of five players with two league goals.
Koln: T. Horn - Mere, Bornauw, Czichos - Wolf, Skhiri, Meyer, Hector (c), J. Horn - Duda - Dennis
Out: Andersson (knee), Kainz (knee)
Doubtful: Cestic (muscular)
Coach: Markus Gisdol
Bielefeld begins Matchday 19 two points clear of their hosts in the final automatic safety position. They won the reverse fixture 1-0 and have also beaten the bottom two, Schalke and Mainz, but are the form team coming into this fixture with two victories over Hertha Berlin and VfB Stuttgart in their last four games.
Despite a 5-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend, coach Uwe Neuhaus is expected to stick with much the same starting XI he has over the last four matches – the first time in six years Arminia has used the same team in four straight games. It includes joint-top scorers Doan and Fabian Klos, who have three goals apiece, assuming the Japanese are fit for this one. The duo are the only Arminia players to have found the net more than once in the 2020/21 campaign.
Bielefeld: Ortega - Brunner, Pieper, Nilsson, Laursen - Kunze - Doan, Hartel, Yabo - Klos (c), Cordova
Out: Niemann (calf)
Doubtful: Prietl (muscular), Voglsammer (calf)
Coach: Uwe Neuhaus

This will be the duo's 26th top-flight meeting, of which none have previously ended goalless. Bielefeld boasts 12 wins to Koln's 11. This one could be finished with just one goal, so under 2,5 goals is our preferable betting option.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
